Beschreibung: Der Château D'Esclans Garrus Rosé ist ein phänomenaler Roséwein. In der Nase präsentiert sich der Château D'Esclans Garrus Rosé mit duftenden Noten von Mango und Nektarine.  Am Gaumen ist der Château D'Esclans Garrus Rosé würzig mineralisch und mit beeindruckender Tiefe und einem außergewöhnlich langem Finale. Ein Rosé von der Cotes de Provence der lange in Erinnerung bleibt, gemacht aus überwiegend Grenache und einem kleineren Anteil Rolle.

Decanter: „At Château d’Esclans, they have absolutely perfected the art of delivering depth and intensity with the gentlest of encouragements. Where Les Clans majors on restrained elegance, Garrus delivers wonderfully succulent fresh summer fruits, with touches of citrus rind and rose petal, all balanced with perfectly judged acidity to add finesse. With an amazingly long finish, this dances along the palate and is mouthwateringly engaging. From old-vine Grenache and Rolle, 90% free-run juice, optical sorting, with 10 months in new and one-year-old 600-litre oak barrels, with lees stirring. Drinking Window 2018 - 2024.“

James Suckling: „A layered and fruity rosé with dried strawberries, lemons and hints of cherry skin. Some spices. Medium to full body. Lemony acidity. Stone and dried-peach character as well. A solid rosé with beautiful tension and focus. Fruitier style than in recent years. Drink or hold.“

Vinous Antonio Galloni: „Light, bright orange. Smoke- and mineral-accented red berries, citrus fruits, vanilla and rose pastille on the highly expressive and expansive nose. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering deeply concentrated, velvety raspberry liqueur, tangerine and vanilla bean flavors that show superb clarity and powerful thrust. Rich yet almost shockingly lithe in character, delivering strong, mineral-driven finishing cut and a lingering suggestion of candied flowers. This wine really transcends the category of pink wine and it resembles a serious white Burgundy, perhaps a Meursault, in terms of body and texture.“

Wine Spectator: „This rosé feels more like a white Burgundy, offering creamy waves of white peach, tangerine, persimmon and mango fruit infused with bergamot and warm brioche notes. A light echo of wet stones adds length and detail on the showy finish. Distinctive and beautifully done. Drink now.“

Wine Enthusiast: „This wine, which continues to stretch the bounds of Provence rosé, is rich and impressively packed with ripe fruits and spice from wood aging. It should be taken seriously both for its complexity and for its potential to age. Drink now–2020.“
