Stephen Tanzer's IWC, July 2012

Light peach skin color. Intensely perfumed aromas of redcurrant, strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb, with suave floral and mineral overtones. This lively, precise wine offers tangy citrus and red berry flavors and a silky texture. Finishes tangy and precise, with very good energy and lingering florality. In the context of this estate's high-end offerings, which are all excellent, this is a steal.

This elegant wine displays a sense of power behind the delicate flavors of dried cherry, licorice, cream and spice. Finishes with notes of dried mango and hints of sage honey. Drink now. -K.M.

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.
