An elegant and structured Bandol rosé, where Mediterranean sunshine is balanced by fresh acidity and minerality. The Château Romassan vineyards are planted on terraces of limestone and marl soils, particularly well suited to 'Mourvèdre'.
The nose reveals notes of citrus, melon and broom flowers. On the palate, the wine is structured and lively, with flavours of yellow fruit and citrus, followed by a fresh, spicy and precise finish.
The wine is made from 'Mourvèdre', 'Grenache' and 'Cinsault'. The vineyards are spread across eight communes of the Bandol appellation: grapes grown in the valleys provide greater freshness, while those from higher terraces contribute body and structure.
The style of the 2025 vintage was shaped by contrasting conditions – a very wet winter and spring were followed by a hot and dry summer. The early harvest helped preserve freshness, tension and aromatic intensity.
Serve at a temperature of 10–12 °C; it pairs well with pan-seared shrimp, tuna tartare, or pan-seared sea bass with herbs.
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.
