2. Chateau d’Esclans, 2012
One notch down from the Provencal producer’s top wine, the barrel-fermented Garrus, the Chateau d’Esclans rosé does without the overt new oak nuttiness of its £70 big brother.
Instead, this rosé displays a gentle smokiness, fragrant fruit and a wonderfully refreshing finish.
It retails for around £20 in the UK.
