Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2011
Pale pink. Redcurrant, dried flowers and spices on the nose, with a subtle herbal quality emerging with air. Dry and tightly focused, with good grip to its bitter red fruit flavors. The firm finish features good cut and lingering herbacity. -JR

Robust, with dried red fruit flavors accented by herbal, minerally overtones. The firm, juicy finish is powered by hints of licorice. Drink now. 12,640 cases made. -KM
About Winery
Chateau d'Esclans' is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort, twenty kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast. The first traces of the chateau's site date back to Gaullist times during which its location served as a lookout point to spot intruders coming by boat into the Gulf of Frejus.The chateau's cellar structure or foundation (known today as the oldest in the region) housed an original Chateau that was given by the Comte de Provence to Gérard De Villeneuve, in 1201. The De Villeneuves, an illustrious family from Marseille, would own Chateau d'Esclans and the land around it for centuries to come.
The surrounding land around Chateau d'Esclans is known as La Vallee des Esclans (the valley of the clans). At one point the entire area was part of the chateau's property and over time was gradually parceled out.In 2006 Sacha Lichine acquired Chateau d'Esclans beginning a new and exciting history for this remarkable chateau and the 267 hectares surrounding it.
