Château l'Escarelle

"Le Pacha" Rosé Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP

    • Description :

      This wine is named with a nod to the Butterfly Garden created on the estate by the Itancia Endowment Fund. The Pacha (the Foxy Emperor in English) is a rare butterfly found in Provence, including on the Escarelle estate. This signature butterfly appears on the label of this wine.
