Description

Provence, renowned as the world's largest wine region, specializes in dry rosé and has become a favorite among American wine enthusiasts. On this exclusive Wine Yachting Land Adventure, visit Chateau d’Esclans, the home of the acclaimed "Whispering Angel" rosé. Explore the chateau, its picturesque vineyards, and taste wines from this world's leading rosé producer. Embark on a journey from Cannes to the picturesque hills of Provence, where nestled among the serene landscape lies Chateau d'Esclans, a storied estate with roots tracing back to the 12th century. Once a grand castle, today only its ancient cellars remain, steeped in centuries of history and intrigue. In 1201, the castle and vast lands of the Esclans Valley fell into the hands of Gérard de Villeneuve, scion of a prominent Marseille family. Over time, the estate was divided and sold in parcels, until its rebirth in 2006 under the ownership of Sacha Lichine.

Together with Patrick Leon, the visionary former Managing Director of Mouton Rothschild, Lichine embarked on a mission to redefine the art of winemaking and craft the epitome of rosé excellence. At the heart of Chateau d'Esclans' acclaim lies its prized old-vine Grenache, some dating back to the early 20th century. These grapes, meticulously hand-picked at dawn, intertwine with carefully tended Vermentino to create wines of unparalleled complexity and finesse. The estate's top cuvées, aged in oak, possess an extraordinary ability to evolve and improve with time, offering a sensory journey through the terroir of Provence. With an annual production of 7 million bottles, a staggering 95% of which are exported, Chateau d'Esclans has carved its place on the global stage.

Leading the charge is the iconic Whispering Angel, beloved for its dry palate, aromatic intensity, and versatility with a wide array of dishes. Sacha Lichine's ambition to elevate rosé to new heights has sparked a "renaissance of rosé," revolutionizing winemaking in the region with innovative techniques and uncompromising quality. Discover the allure of Chateau d'Esclans, where tradition meets innovation, and every sip tells a tale of passion, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of Provence.

Notes

This tour involves moderate walking on uneven surfaces, including some steps at the chateau, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

From Portoferraio, enjoy a delightful drive to the southern mountainside village of Capoliveri. Enchanting and full of charm, Capoliveri preserves an almost medieval atmosphere in its architecture, both sober and elegant. Located in the heart of Elba’s mining area, between the iron mines of Mount Calamita and Mount Ginevro, the village offers superb panoramic views over the gulfs of Lacona and Campo. Below, a wild headland covered with bush, agaves and prickly pears meets some of the island’s most beautiful coastline, with dramatic cliffs visited by sea gulls and small bays with crystal-clear waters.

Stroll through the twisting old streets, then enjoy leisure time to browse the small shops and boutiques. Your next stop is the 17th-century country wine farm “La Chiusa,” beautifully set among vineyards and olive trees with views over the sea. As with many historic estates on Elba, it is said to have once hosted Napoleon during his exile.

During your visit, explore the estate’s cellar to see how the wine is produced, followed by a tasting of the vineyard’s passiti wines made from Aleatico and Ansonica grapes—classic varieties of the island. The tasting, served in the garden facing the sea, will be complemented by assorted light snacks.

After this pleasant interlude, a short walk will take you back to your transport for the return drive to Portoferraio.
