Probably the most famous rosé internationally. Named the best rosé producer in the world by the renowned magazine “Decanter”. The estate comprises 53 hectares, of which only 40 are planted with vineyards. The estate is ideally situated on a slate terrace that slopes down towards the Mediterranean Sea near Brégançon. The estate dates back to the 18th century and has been owned by the Ott family since 1936.

Château Romassan is situated near the village of Le Castellet. The château is dominated by the picturesque little chapel that has watched over the estate in Bandol for nearly three centuries. Since 1956, the wines of Château Romassan have benefited from the enthusiasm and obsession with perfection of the Ott family. They work here without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers.

The grapes are hand-picked and rigorously selected upon arrival in the cellars. This is followed by slow fermentation. The wine ages for at least 8 months in oak barrels, giving it a full-bodied, slightly spicy, and stylish taste. Any comparison with any other wine falls short; Montaigne knew that already.

The wine is light pink in color. On the nose, very fine notes of citrus fruits, as well as very fresh hints of licorice. Once the wine has been swirled briefly, fragrant white flowers also develop on the nose. On the palate, there is a very good balance between freshness and liveliness. It can be drunk now but can also be aged for five years without any problems, and that is what makes Ott wines so unique. This rosé version is the rarity of all the rosés that Domaine Ott brings to the market. Uniquely refined.

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.
