British Airways has opened its exclusive Whispering Angel rosé bar at London Heathrow Terminal 5B
The airline is the first to have a bespoke Whispering Angel bar in the Concorde, First and Club lounges.
British Airways has also recently introduced Whispering Angel’s big brother, Rock Angel, in its First Cabin. Available for three months on the airline’s wine menu, Rock Angel ‘boasts more structure than its younger sibling’. Passengers can enjoy a chilled glass of the richer rosé onboard.
Passengers travelling on short-haul flights can get a taste of Château d’Esclans’ creations through the newly branded High Life Café.
The Whispering Angel partnership adds to an expansive premium drink offering, following British Airways’ appointment of a full-time Master of Wine, one of only 415 in the world. It is believed to be the only one appointed by an airline.
Calum Laming, Chief Customer Officer at British Airways, said: “We are really excited to open the doors on our new original Whispering Angel bar, just in time for the start of the summer season. What’s more, the opening coincides with the exciting news that customers now have the option to pre-order Whispering Angel across all short-haul flights, to take the experience with them, from the ground to the skies.”
The Château d’Esclans team added: “We are ecstatic to finally be able to share our beautiful Whispering Angel bar with British Airways’ customers and bring a touch of glamour to Heathrow as the world’s most glamorous rosé. We look forward to travellers being able to enjoy a delicious glass of Whispering Angel before they fly, in a space that really embodies the effortlessly chic nature of our brand.”
The opening marks the first phase of the airline’s continued refresh of the lounge over the summer months, which will include a new layout and reupholstered furniture.
