Garrus by Chateau D’Esclans is the absolute paragon of Provence. This elite tier rosé opens with a magnificent floral bouquet that is quickly accompanied by definite notes of fresh, wild strawberries. A medium body is complimented by the strong and satisfying minerality of honeyed stone. Once on the tongue a whole new level of complexity unfolds as the spicy flavours of aged oak come through in perfect harmony with the fresh acidity of orange and sharp citrus fruit. This wine is the true epitome of sophistication. The top of the range among Sacha Lichine’s rose’s, Garrus offers a uniquely vinous, savoury style. Toasty and floral aromas precede a powerful, though never heavy, palate. Despite the mouthfilling texture, the wine retains remarkable focus and structure.

Shows impressive length and precision. A gorgeous rose.” - 91 points, Wine Spectator, June 2015 Grilled meats, fish, poultry with heavy sauce, Pan Asian cuisine. This deliciously elegant rose definitely requires a dish with some weight and complexity to it. Think succulent roasted pork, grilled lamb chops or even a savory mushroom dish.
