A beautifully ripe notion of lemon appears first on the nose and the zestiness implied duly appears on the palate. There is lightness and freshness, with just a touch of pink grapefruit along with a lovely, pithy texture that takes this from aperitif to table.

Producer Information

Domaines Ott is a wine producer based in the south of France and the producer of some of the most prestigious ros wines in Provence. The domaine is made up of three estates: Clos Mireille, Chteau Romassan and Chteau de Selle, and covers wines falling under both the Bandol and Ctes de Provence appellations. Being Provence, ros makes up an important proportion of the domaine’s wines, and is made from classic Mediterranean varieties like Grenache, Mourvdre, Cinsaut and Syrah. Domaines Ott also produce several red and white wines across the appellations and the estates. A fourth line, By.Ott, was added recently and comprises a ros, white and red wine made in the refurbished Chteau de Selle winery. The estate was founded by Alsatian Marcel Ott, who arrived in Provence in 1896 and began buying vineyards in the post-phylloxera period when vineyard land was reasonably cheap. The three estates were added over the course of the 20th Century: Chteau de Selle was acquired in 1912, Clos Mireille in 1936, and finally, Chteau Romassan in 1956. Each of the three estates makes two wines, and all are bottled in the distinctively shaped bottles which represent the undulating landscape of Provence. Chteau de Selle is the most inland of Ott’s estates, found in Taradeau, in the Var department. The 14 hectares (34 acres) vineyards are planted on terraced slopes on soils that are a mixture of gypsum, red clay, sandstone, gravel and stone with some chalk. It makes a red wine and a ros, both from a blend of varieties planted in the vineyard, which include Grenache, Cinsaut, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Clos Mireille and Chteau Romassan are both located on the coast, the latter in the Bandol AOC (appellation). Romassan makes ros and red wines under the Bandol AOC from Mourvdre, mainly, with some Grenache. Clos Mireille, which is close enough to the ocean to feel the influence of sea spray, makes Domaines Ott’s flagship ros, from Grenache, Cinsaut and Syrah. This vineyard also produces a white wine, made from Semillon and Rolle.
