Description
Probably the most internationally famous rosé. Declared the best rosé producer in the world by the renowned magazine "Decanter." The estate covers 53 hectares, of which only 40 are planted with vines. The estate is ideally situated on a slate terrace that slopes down to the Mediterranean Sea near Brégançon. Dating back to the 18th century, the estate has been owned by the Ott family since 1936, but they also produce very fine white and red wines in limited quantities.
Château Romassan is located near the village of Le Castellet. The château is dominated by the picturesque chapel that has watched over the estate in Bandol for almost three centuries. Since 1956, the wines of Château Romassan have benefited from the Ott family's enthusiasm and obsession with perfection. They work here without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers.
The grapes are hand-picked and collected in 30-kilo crates. A second selection takes place, followed by a gentle pressing, fermentation, and then a gentle alcohol fermentation in thermoregulated vats, followed by aging in foudres for 18 to 20 months. Any comparison with any other wine is flawed, as Montaigne already knew.
The Romassan Bandol Rouge from Ott has a deep ruby red color and a nose full of blackcurrant, cherry, slightly spicy, and laurel notes. The palate reveals rich tannins, spices, and red fruit. A firm finish. This wine pairs well with beef, lamb, dishes featuring (wild) mushrooms or truffles, blackcurrants, and/or soft cheeses. Château Romassan Rouge is a superb, concentrated, and profound cuvée, blending the finest characteristics of each plot.
Château Romassan is a Bandol of considerable size, which harnesses the power of its terroirs to its Mourvèdre grape variety (Monastrel, Spain). Concentration and depth are enhanced by finesse and a unique silky smoothness. At every stage of its development, for up to fifteen years or more, the beating heart of Bandol is revealed, with its balance and controlled power. The terroir of Bandol is one of Provence's jewels. Bathed in sunshine and open to the sea, constantly buffeted by the wind, the Mourvèdre vineyard comprises marl and limestone soils particularly well-suited to Mourvèdre. In the valley, the grapes yield more juice and crispness, while on the slopes, at higher altitudes, they offer greater power and structure. The blending of these terroirs, exposed to different winds and climates, allows for the production of a cuvée with great aging potential, complexity, and precision.

Buy the amazing roses from Domaines Ott. You have come to the right place at Grandcruwijnen. We carry the top series of this great pretigeuse winery. Whether you want to try the Ott Bandol or the Ott Provenve rose or the great red and white Ott wines with us, this is possible. All Domaines Ott wines can be ordered by the bottle and are delivered the next day. Do not wait too long because the offer of Domaines Ott wines are scarce and highly sought after.
Domaines Ott is undoubtedly the most famous rosé house in the world, but is certainly seen as the founder of Provence wines.
Due to the unique location of the vineyards and the manic pursuit of perfection, Ott is able to produce extremely pure rose's, white and red wines. Poison is not used because the vineyards of the top models of Domaines Ott (Romassan Bandol Coeur de Grain and Clos Mireille Coeur de Grain) are actually on the Mediterranean where the microclimate and the sea breeze (and misting of the surf of the sea) are favorable and provide unique conditions for the production of exceptional Ott wines.
“Le mourvèdre doît voir la mer” according to Christophe Renard of Domaine Ott. "He sees the sea", this main grape for the red and rosé from Bandol. It is planted on the terraces between the hills and the sea around the fishing village of Bandol. The 3000 annual hours of sunshine, the Mistral and the rainfall in autumn are the microclimate that allows the necessary late ripening of this thick-skinned grape. The AOP Bandol includes the towns of Bandol, Le Beausset, Le Castellet, La Cadière, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, Sainte-Anne-d'Évenos, Sanary and Ollioules. The Bandols from the more northwestern Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and Sainte-Anne-d'Évenos give slightly lighter and more elegant wines because of the pebble bottoms.
The red clay soil from the rest of the AOP provides tannin-rich wines that require a blend with cinsault and grenache in order to temper the intense character of the mouvedre. Syrah and carignan may participate for 15% of the assembly. The poor soil provides one of the lowest yields in France: a maximum of 40 hl / ha, and the planting is 5000 sticks per ha. The area produces 48,000 hectoliters annually, produced by 51 châteaux and 5 cooperatives. Mainly red and rosé (80%) is made. The Ott roses are also wines that still age well. The red certainly decades but also the rose gets better with age.
The Clos Mireille and Romassan Bandol rose are the top models and as of 2016 the rose Ott By Ott sees the light of day. A completely new quality rosé which is significantly lower in price than the world's best Romassan and Mireille. Here, too, demand will outstrip supply.
