White dry
This organic white wine from Provence offers a unique expression of saline minerality and ripe, concentrated fruit. It beautifully reflects the Provençal terroir and allows you to experience the deep and complex flavour of this region's wine, breaking stereotypes.
"Domaine Ott Clos Mireille Blanc" displays pale golden hues that wonderfully contrast with the vivid notes of exotic fruits in its abundant aromatic bouquet. On the palate, you will discover a honeyed texture, perfectly balanced by intense freshness. After ageing in large wooden barrels (foudres), the wines are blended together, creating an elegant harmony. This wine also boasts excellent ageing potential, allowing its complexity to develop beautifully over time.
This Provençal white wine expresses typical maritime saline characteristics thanks to its unique location, dry air, abundant sunshine and schist soil free of limestone. The wine is made from an unexpected blend of grapes: dominated by Sémillon — a varietal originating from Bordeaux, complemented by Rolle (Vermentino) — a highly aromatic local variety.
Serve at 12-14°C with scallops seared with lemon juice, grilled wolffish or multigrain scallops with chicken.
This coastal vineyard near La Londe-les-Maures has long been highly regarded for its white wines, with Semillon taking a starring role and the schist soils and maritime climate reputedly lending a saline minerality to the wines. 70% Semillon, 30% Rolle, aged for four to six months using wooden foudres with regular batonnage to help impart fat and length to the palate and stabilise the acidity and colour. The final blend is determined in December following the vintage, then clarification using bentonite clay and bottling is carried out from the February. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Fresh lemons. Creamy, salty, intense and mouthwatering. Lifted by some pretty blue florals and waxy white blossom. Natasha Hughes MW: Smoky, spicy, toasty oak. Fleshy mid-palate, almost syrupy in texture. A hint of struck match. Generous, ripe stone fruit, orange blossom. Long. Good balance. Joanna Simon: Zesty lemon curd and dried flowers. Lanolin, bitter lemon and green olive tapenade on the palate. Bitter herbs and lemon. Characterful and unusual.
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.
