Dom Ott's Bandol Rosé • Among The Most Limited Ott Wines

March 05, 2024

We've never seen Domaines Ott Rosé fly off the shelf as it did last March when we first featured their coveted Bandol cuvee, Chateau Romassan.

If you enjoy refreshing rosé that can stand on its own or be paired with a wide variety of summer cuisine, be sure to secure yours, as this wine is a certain sellout. 

Ott's Chateau Romassan reminds us that there are rosés, and then there are Bandol rosés.   

Intense citrus and pit fruit, red berry, succulent herb, and a never-ending mineral core. Fresh strawberry, pomegranate, white peach, and orange flavors work effortlessly together.  Wonderfully dry and refreshing, the stone and pit fruit notes echo throughout the entire experience.  This is another excellent vintage of Domaines Ott. 

What We Love About Ott's Chateau Romassan

We love this wine for its complex and vibrant berry notes, which are juxtaposed with the savory herbs and chalky, dry finish.  Made from mostly Mourvedre, the dry, austere soil at Chateau Romassan forces the vines to reach deep into the soil extracting exotic minerality.

The Mourvedre in this elegant rosé is smooth and creamy.   Replete with depth and nuance, the wine is surprisingly light on its feet.  Upon the first sip, you can tell that the wine draws its personality from the distinguished soil of chalk, sandstone, marl, and gravel.   

Add a sun-drenched microclimate, and you've got one heck of a rosé!

They don't make much, so stock up.

Enjoy over the next five years.

"A compelling value as world-class wines go." Vinous

By David Gettenberg

V

“Impossible to ignore.”

Vinous

"The 2023 Rosé Château Romassan captivates with a bouquet that mixes savory and sweet, as nuances of D'Anjou pear and lime zest combine with spring flowers, ginger and green melon. This is vividly fruit-focused within, with cooling acidity and silken textures, coming across as lifted and refined yet also potent. Its minerality shines through the finish, crisp, nearly crunchy and long with a spicy tinge that pinches at the palate. Complexity and shear depth make the Chateau Romassan impossible to ignore."
