Rose dry
This is one of the most gourmet, fleshiest and richest wines in the Domaines Ott portfolio.
A bold personality, with character and a passionate heart. The wine reflects the terroir of the Mediterranean coast. The maritime climate, the scorching sun and the soil help ripen well-balanced grapes. The majority share of Grenache gives the wine a firm structure, Cinsault lends softness on the palate, while Syrah and Rolle bring fruitiness.
The wine displays a very pale rosé colour. The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe melon and mango, pomegranate and vanilla. On the palate, the wine reveals a delicate yet complex flavour of citrus fruits, lifted by a fresh, vibrant acidity.
Serve at 10–12 °C as an aperitif, with seafood, light salads or a platter of soft cheeses.
Instantly brilliant in the glass, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Clos Mireille, a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and the balance of Rolle (or Vermentino), exhales aromas of red berries, lemon, peach, guava and hints of curry leaf. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, combining fine acidity and a salty, penetrating, mouthwatering finish. It’s one of the more gourmand, fleshy, generous wines in the Domaines Ott range.
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.
