£95.00

18+/20 – Matthew Jukes MW
91/100 – Tom Canavan

Whispering Angel is a reference point for fine Provençe rosé—which many of our rosé connoisseur Members will already know! Its secret is the winemaker, Sacha Lichine, whom Jancis Robinson MW calls ‘the golden boy of rosé’. Full, lush, yet linear and crisp, textured and long—it’s the apogee of fine pink and the stunning 2022 vintage has arrived in the Club Cellar for Members at an exclusive price of only £15.83 per bottle, delivered.

Notes Matthew Jukes: ‘I am relieved to report that the unbroken run of excellence is still intact, but there is more. This is the first vintage of Whippy that actually seems actively youthful and taut. While it normally hits the ground running, with pliable fruit and welcoming freshness, this crisp, expressive wine is firm, tense, energetic and utterly ravishing. The rose petal nose, melon flesh silkiness and grapefruit acidity are all in place, and they are layered, glisteningly attractive and immediately impressive, but this 2022 vintage is different from previous vintages because it nips in on the finish promising more drama as it relaxes and billows over the next six months. So, take it from me, that while this is already a cracker, I know that come May, right on cue, it will have even more glamour and allure on the nose, palate and finish!’ Rated 18+/20 points, Matthew Jukes, January 2023
Notes Tom Cavanagh: ‘Such a delicate perfume: rose-hip and pot-pourri, fresh red berries, juiciness of watermelon. On the palate it is dry and refined, the red berries hint at tartness to make the mouth water, the wine finishing with shimmering, elegant acidity.’
The accolades go on—and the Club Tasting Panel commend it to Members, particularly at the exclusive Club price!
