Description

Probably the most famous rosé internationally. Voted by the famous magazine “Decanter” as the best producer of rosé in the world. The domain covers 53 hectares of which only 40 are planted with vineyards. The domain is ideally located on a slate terrace that plunges down to the Mediterranean Sea near Brégançon. The domain dates from the 18th century and has been owned by the Ott family since 1936.

Château de Selle has 140 hectares of land, of which 64 hectares are planted with grape vines. The subsoil of the vineyards has been machined before planting, so that stones, clay and lime are mixed in the right amount. The harvest is picked by hand. A strict selection of the grapes takes place both during harvesting and afterwards. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, after which maturation takes place in oak barrels for 6 – 9 months. The wine is bottled in the spring. They work here without using poison or fertilizer.

The Chateau de Selle is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides complexity, elegance and power, the Grenache adds warmth to the wine, the Cinsault provides finesse and body and the Syrah rounds off the wine and gives it color. This combination creates a taste that brings together the finesse of the land, round, fruity and fresh.

In the glass, this rosé has a beautiful pale pink color with golden reflections. In the nose we smell beautiful notes of peach, lime and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. In the mouth there is a very good balance between freshness and liveliness. Can be drunk now but can also be stored for five years without any problems and that is what makes Ott wines so unique. Unprecedentedly refined.

FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the highway with plenty of parking space. Click here for address

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.
