Domaines Ott Château Romassan Organic Rosé 2022/23, Bandol
Description
In 1896, Marcel Ott, a young Alsatian graduate, toured France in search of the country's most inspiring vineyards. He quickly settled in Provence, and the estates he discovered are now widely recognised as some of the greatest in the region. Today, his ancestors, Christian and Jean-François Ott, work with the iconic Champagne house, Louis Roeder, to craft this exceptional organic rosé. It's a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault that has elegant flavours of pink grapefruit, lemon and white flowers. It has a delicious minerality that's ideal with the saltiness of shellfish.

Château Romassan
"Here, the power of the soils comes to the fore thanks to the positive effects of gentle, eco-friendly winegrowing”. Phillipe Thénot, vineyard manager at Château Romassan
Acquired by the Ott family in 1956, Château Romassan sits tucked away between the Sainte-Baume massif and the shores of the Mediterranean, in the commune of Le Castellet. The magnificent 18th-century château is adjoined by the historic cellar, which was modernised in 2023 to allow for increasingly precise winemaking."
