Chateau d'Esclans Description
Considered Château d’Esclans’ finest wine, Garrus is made from a single vineyard of nearly 100 year-old Grenache vines, and from Rolle (Vermentino). Entirely fermented and aged in new large French oak barrels for 11 months, the powerful and elegant Garrus was at the heart to Sacha Lichine’s vision in 2006 to make rosé grand. Today Garrus is firmly established as a world class, iconic luxury rosé. It is an impressive and concentrated rosé with a creamy finish featuring rich and spicy notes rivaling any top white wine or prestige Champagne.

Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A serious rosé, with a lush, focused texture showcasing peach puree, brioche, mango gelée and vanilla notes that are harmonious and elegant. Very engaging, with a lengthy finish.
James Suckling
This is really something for a rosé. Very powerful yet subtle aromas and flavors of dried strawberry, sliced lemon, mineral and a pinch of salt. Some fresh-herb undertones, such as sage. Hint of coconut. It’s full-bodied, yet so tight and compact with fantastic freshness and length. Goes on for minutes.
Wine Enthusiast
This wine continues to follow its own path in interpreting rosé from Provence. Wood aged and ripe, it shows toast and spice as much as fruit, well integrated and with the possibility of aging further. Elegant while also powerfully rich, the wine demands food as a partner. Drink this unique wine from 2022.
