The 90 hectares of vineyards are split between the AOC’s eight communes and planted on marl and limestone soils that are particularly well suited to Mourvedre. They are composed of two main climates. The grapes grown in the valley offer fresh, crunchy juice whereas those grown at higher altitudes on the terraced hillsides produce wines with more body and structure.
The nose opens with spices, nicely set off by slightly minty notes. On entry to the palate, the wine is dense and fresh. This is a sunny wine with predominant black fruit aromas which, combined with silky tannins, lend the wine a rich, luscious character and lingering flavours.
Serve at 16-18 °C with beef, lamb or a boar stew.
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. The estate’s flagship rosé is subtle and refreshing, featuring expressive notes of summer berries and fruit. Its distinctive amphora-shaped bottle has become a worldwide symbol of style.
Iconic wines
Domaines Ott oversees several exceptional vineyards across Provence, defined by clay and limestone soils, ideal climate conditions, and sustainable farming practices. Grape varieties such as ‘Grenache’, ‘Cinsault’, ‘Syrah’, ‘Mourvèdre’, and others are carefully selected and hand-harvested to ensure top quality.
Ageing and enjoyment
Domaines Ott rosés are crafted to be enjoyed young – they are vibrant, fresh, and perfect for hot summer days, especially along the French Riviera. Some wines, particularly from the “Clos Mireille” series, are already considered iconic, often seen in beachside restaurants and yachts among the stars.
