Whispering Angel Cotes de Provence Rose Magnum 150cl

Product Information

Whispering Angel from Chateau d'Esclans is arguably the World's greatest Rosé. The grapes come from the most select land in the surrounding region of La Motte in Provence. The blend consists of Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle (Vermentino), Syrah and Tibouren. This rosé is crisp, fresh and elegant and comes highly recommended. We are delighted to be the first UK merchant to offer Sacha Lichine's amazing new Whispering Angel Rosé 2022 in bottle format. The wine has just arrived from Chateau d'Esclans, also there is a new case design for this vintage and the brand is now owned by LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). I am relieved to report that the unbroken run of excellence is still intact, but there is more. This is the first vintage of Whippy that actually seems actively youthful and taut. While it normally hits the ground running, with pliable fruit and welcoming freshness, this crisp, expressive wine is firm, tense, energetic and utterly ravishing. The rose petal nose, melon flesh silkiness and grapefruit acidity are all in place, and they are layered, glisteningly attractive and immediately impressive, but this 2022 vintage is different from previous vintages because it nips in on the finish promising more drama as it relaxes and billows over the next six months.

In a large, heavy frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil and sauté the eggplant until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and sauté the leek until soft, then add the spinach, eggplant and remaining ingredients. Gently stir to mix, taste and season well. Set aside.

There are precious few annual wine ‘moments’ left in our beautiful business. Beaujolais Nouveau day is an actual annual event with its very own date. The third Thursday of November has always been the day this wine goes on sale, and a couple of brave stalwarts continue raising a glass. It might be clinging on by its fingernails, but it has more integrity than the multiple grape variety ‘days’ that have faked their way into existence. The annual Penfolds Collection launch yoyos around the calendar, and even Bordeaux’s En Primeur circus tries, but usually fails, to hit the same week each year. Still, one day that has become a fixture in my diary is the new release of Whispering Angel – without fail my sample arrives on the 9th January each year! Next, take the bottom left-hand corner and fold this over to the right. Keep folding until you reach the top. (You can place a leaf of parsley between the two sheets near the top so that the leaf is visible as decoration.) Repeat procedure to make 12 small pies. This is a sublime vintage for Whispering Angel building on its magical reputation by adding an otherworldly texture to the already ravishing perfume and taste. Indeed the flavor is the embodiment of its name." Matthew Jukes

As you will be well aware, this Pink Titan sells like hotcakes, and in vintages gone by, it has been released on strict allocation such is the demand. Of course, production has increased significantly to slake the world’s elite rosé palate, but there seems to be no end in sight for the desire that committed rosé drinkers have for this pioneering wine. This is the very first time I have added a ‘+’ to my score below because this is the symbol I use, across all of my wine writing, to indicate that a wine will improve and evolve with age! Who would have thought that Whispering Angel would be such a wine?" Place a 12th of the filling on the bottom end of the strips, then gently take the bottom right-hand corner and fold over on to the left side of the strip to form a triangle, which encases the filling. put washed spinach in a heavy pan and cook over a low heat for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain very well and coarsely chop.
