August’s Wine of the Month
The latest from our resident wine expert, Tony:
“Has to be a rosé with all the recent sunshine we’ve been experiencing, and what better than Château D’Esclans’ iconic wine – we had a few magnums of it for my son’s thirtieth birthday! What a treat it was too, produced by Sacha Lichine and named Whispering Angel, it has a strikingly pink peachy colour with fabulous fresh fruity aromas and, as the name suggests, is quite delicate and elegant on the palate. Whispering Angel has become in a very short time one of the most sort after rosés in the world.
It can be seen on many top restaurant wine lists and is available at a few selected Majestic stores, or you might find it at your local wine merchant. Alternatively, you could check out a mail order company, such as www.rose-wine.com.”
Whispering Angel is also available from Waitrose.
