Provence Sacha Lichine, the so-called king of rosé, and his wife,
Mathilde, hosted 300 guests this July at Château d’Esclans Domaines Sacha Lichine Whispering Angel in Provence to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Christine and Steve Schwarzman and crystal magnate Maximilian Reidel were among the guests who drank, dined, and danced the night away to Pete Moore’s 10-piece swing band, Martini Nation. A dinner was catered by Chez Bruno of Lorgues, and guests enjoyed nonstop pours of the estate’s Whispering Angel, Château d’Esclans Rock Angel, Les Clans, and Garrus—the world’s most expensive rosé.
