Chateau L Escarelle Les Deux Anges Rose

With 100 hectares of organic vineyards set in 1000 hectares of beautiful woodland, Chateau de L’Escarelle are one of the most prestigious wine estates in the heart of Provence.

Over the years L’Escarelle has made impressive steps to establish themselves as major players in sustainable agriculture within France, achieving the highest level environmental certification. Their vines are planted up to 500 metres above sea level, hugging the slopes of the Montagne de La Loube, adapting to the estates' clay and limestone soils. The terroir’s distinctive character is perfect for creating highly expressive, elegant rosé wines.

In the autumn of 2015, Chateau de L’Escarelle began building a new store to house their wines. Surprisingly, in the midst of the building work, they uncovered two statues depicting a couple of cheerful cherubs. They obviously had to honour this in some way, so ‘Les deux anges’ (the two angels) draws its inspiration from these statues.

Predominantly Syrah, with equal parts Grenache and Cinsault, this is a subtle and elegant rosé with wild strawberry and citrus fruit aromas. The palate is clean and fresh with beautiful smoothness alongside mango and pomelo notes.

What is organic wine?

What is organic wine?

Organic wine is wine made from grapes grown in accordance with the principles of organic farming. This excludes the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. 

Previously, “Made with Organically Grown Grapes” was legally the only claim possible, but regulations introduced in 2012 now allow the whole winemaking process, from harvest to bottle, to be certified by law.

The definition does still vary from country to country though. In the US, no additional sulfites may be added to any organic product, including wine. In the EU, added sulfites are allowed, though there are limits on how much. Most other wine-producing countries do not have their own standards for organic wine and observe the standards of the nation importing the wine.

Provence

Provence

The region of Provence sits along the Mediterranean coast of France. Wine has been made here for over 2600 years, making it the oldest wine-producing region of France. It is also the only place to focus on rosé, with over 85% of production devoted to it!

Provence is blessed with a climate that is ideal for growing grapes. The region gets lots of sunshine and not too much rain, with warm days and cool evenings. The Mediterranean moderates temperatures, and the famous ‘Mistral’ wind keeps the vineyards dry, free of pests, and the clouds at bay.

Wild shrubs like rosemary, juniper, thyme and lavender grow throughout Provence. Many say these plants, collectively called ‘Garrigue’ or ‘Maquis’, influence the character of the wines.
