Originating in the Var region of Provence, produced by Sacha Lichine for the discerning rosé drinker. Named for its transparent pink color, The Pale embodies all the characteristics of an authentic Provençal rosé.
An expressive wine with aromatic freshness on the nose. The palate shows subtle fruity notes with hints of peach and pink grapefruit. Its elegant taste goes perfectly with its colorful and playful label. The Pale is dry, the finish soft and creamy with undeniable elegance.
Château d’Esclans is located in the heart of the Var, where most of the AOC Rosés de Provence is produced. The lands were occupied 2,500 years ago and served as a surveillance point for any intruders who might land in the Gulf of Fréjus. The original castle – of which only the cellars remain today – was built before the 12th century. In 1201 Gérard de Villeneuve, heir to a wealthy Marseille family, became the owner of the castle and most of the lands in the Vallée d’Esclans; these were then sold in batches. Two brothers, Sauveur Louis Ranque and François Alexandre Ranque, later became owners of the castle, then known as Terre d’Esclans.
