BACKGROUND:
Domaines Ott has been pioneering prestige rosé wines since 1912. Founded in 1896 by Marcel Ott, the wine estates of Domaines Ott were acquired by Louis Roederer in 2004. Descendants of the founder carry on the heritage of producing some of the world’s most prestigious wines from the French Riviera.
By.Ott is a wine produced with all the savoir-faire of the Domaines Ott team in the newly-constructed cellar of Château de Selle. It is a refined and elegant wine for any rosé enthusiast. The blends originate from select vineyards in Côtes de Provence that have been chosen to ensure that the wine is characterized by fruit and freshness with added finesse and complexity.
Winemaker’s Notes
By.Ott Côtes de Provence Rosé is primarily sourced from Château de Selle and Clos Mireille and balanced with fruit from trusted vineyards established generations ago. The blend is composed of 60% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 7% Syrah and 7% Mourvèdre. Ott vineyards are farmed organically and the average age of vines is 22 years. The wine is made under the supervision of fourth generation winemaker Jean-Francois Ott. The quality of the wine is perfectly homogenous and consistent, from the first to last bottling.
Pale and pretty in crystal-clear pink with orange undertones. The nose is delicate and fruity with notes of white peach and apricot mixed with passion fruit and mango. The taste is full, fresh and crisp with echoes of the fruity aroma amplified by citrus zest and sweet spices (cinnamon and cardamom).
