Rosé Wine: Provence’s Most Alluring Angel – Whispering Angel

Jemma - French Lessons · Taste · Wines and Spirits of Provence

Contributor blog post by Jemma:

“You drink more [rosé] than a heavy red or an acidic white,” Tom says from his doorstep perch inside Château d’Esclans. That’s “one of the delightful qualities” of this type of wine, he says.

It’s the best sort of marketing strategy for a winery: a product that sells itself – and in quantity. It’s almost as good as Arm & Hammer’s idea that you buy a box of baking soda and pour it down the drain.

…Continue reading here for Jemma’s story of their invitation to a tasting at this vineyard. From her descriptions of the crowd in attendance, the marketing strategy is working in attracting those who want to drink a great and expensive rosé. The 2016 production is estimated at 6.4 million bottles of Whispering Angel.

Jemma Hélène

Jemma was born and raised in the US Midwest. A banker by trade, she slogged away at a Swiss investment bank in the UK and South Africa before moving – for decent spaces of time, anyway – to the South of France. At a similar stage, she also moved to the right side of her brain as a writer. She has published articles in Maclean’s, SuperYacht World, and various travel and university presses.

At this point Jemma lives mostly in Canada, but she spends the whole of every summer in the Côte d’Azur town of Antibes. From this seaside town of ramparts, situated midway between Nice and Cannes, she has penned her blog French Lessons since 2007. Each post captures a snapshot of the remarkable, real life of the French Riviera. “Consider these pages my summertime gift to you,” she tells her readers.

When not engrossed in things French, Jemma is - not in any particular order - writing a book, making music, performing motherly duties, expanding sustainable education in places that have less of it, promoting Canadian writing, and travelling off-the-beaten-track: over 90 countries, and counting.
