About Whispering Angel

Whispering Angel is the flagship Provence rosé from Château d'Esclans, launched in 2006 when Sacha Lichine acquired the historic La Motte estate in Côtes de Provence, France. Crafted under the direction of renowned oenologist Patrick Léon, Whispering Angel reimagined what Provence rosé could be: silky, elegant, and refined while remaining accessible. Today, it is one of the best-selling French rosés in the United States and widely regarded as the gold standard for premium rosé.

The Story Behind the Name

Whispering Angel takes its name from a pair of cherub statues that watch over the chapel on the Château d'Esclans estate. The poetic name and pale-pink color captured the imagination of rosé drinkers worldwide and helped lead the global rosé renaissance.
