Rose dry
One of the benchmark rosé wines of Provence, born in Côtes de Provence, where long-standing winemaking mastery meets pure fruit expression and a subtle reflection of the terroir.
The aroma reveals rich yellow fruit notes of peach and apricot, intertwined with tropical nuances and citrus zest highlights. The bouquet is delicate and fresh, unfolding hints of white flowers, red berries, and a touch of coastal mineral elegance.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with a smooth, silky texture, vivid acidity, and a clean, dry mineral finish. The flavor profile shows layers of yellow fruit, green apple, citrus peel, and a faint saline note that adds depth, character, and versatility.
The grapes are grown in the Côtes de Provence zone of Provence, on limestone and clay slopes influenced by the Mediterranean climate – warm days, cool nights, little rainfall, and refreshing sea breezes. The estate practices sustainable and organic viticulture, tending to mid-aged vines (~22 years old), and harvesting by hand.
The blend combines the main Provençal varieties: ‘Grenache’, ‘Cinsault’, ‘Syrah’, and ‘Mourvèdre’. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks without maceration, to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit, followed by 4–6 months of maturation.
Serving suggestion: Serve chilled, around 10–12 °C, as an aperitif with seafood, light Mediterranean dishes, grilled chicken, tuna tartare, or vegetable risotto.
Just a few steps from the Mediterranean Sea and the rolling hills of Provence, perched on the high plateau of the Var region, Domaine Ott is a true symbol of Provençal winemaking, with a history that began in the early 20th century.
In 1912, Alsatian agricultural engineer Marcel Ott founded the estate, surrounded by 18th-century buildings and inspired by the nature and history of Provence. His family maintained this winemaking tradition for over a century until 2004, when the estate was acquired by the prestigious Champagne house Louis Roederer – a clear sign of Domaine Ott’s status as a world-class wine brand.
Today, Domaines Ott encompasses several prestigious estates, including Château de Selle, which Marcel Ott transformed into a rosé wine masterpiece. Here, on 48 hectares of vineyards, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and ‘Semillon’ grapes grow to create an elegant, refined wine that has become a symbol of both summer and the entire region.
Style of the wine
Domaine Ott wines are known for their refinement, freshness, and their ability to reflect the unique Provençal terroir.
