Château de L’Escarelle – Les deux Anges

Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP

Practicing a traditional, environmentally-sensitive approach to vine-growing, Château de l’Escarelle is one of the largest and premium estate of Provence.

Grape Variety:

Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Grenache

Vineyard:

The character of the wines from Escarelle is intimately linked to the altitude and geology of the estate. On limestone gravel-based soils, vines benefit from a very long sun exposure.

Winemaking:

After being harvested by hand and sorted, grapes undergo cold pressing and a cold pre-fermentation to stabilize the juice. Then the fermentation is done under temperature-controlled in order to preserve a maximum of the natural flavours. Then the wine is aged on fine lees.

Tasting Note:

A bright, rose petal color with Summer fruits on the nose, including strawberry and redcurrant. The palate is round and full-bodied with a wonderfully long finish.

Food Pairing:

Excellent as an apperitif or along with Mediterranean dishes.
