The Domaines Ott are 3 properties in two appellations. Château de Selle and Clos Mireille in Côtes de Provence and Château Romassan in Bandol. Always inquisitive and in search of new avenues of expression, the Ott family has created Etoile, the result of the union, in a single cuvée, of wines from its three Domaines; Clos Mireille for saline and gourmand character, Château de Selle for finesse and Château Romassan for power.
Nothing is defined for the blending; it's the vintage that guides the know-how and creative freedom. This 2022 contains 78% Grenache and 22% Mourvèdre, part of which (22%) will be matured in ceramic spheres (the rest in stainless steel tanks), a material that brings out the fruit's brilliance and precision. The result is a wine of complex, elegant harmony, a wine of perfect balance, in the tradition of the great wines of Provence. La robe is a pale peach color with golden highlights. The nose is intense and fresh, with delicate vanilla notes, elderflower, peach, citrus and passion fruit. The palate is suave and ample, carried and stretched by the purity of the fruit, just enhanced by aromas of orange peel. The finish perfectly balances chalky minerality, iodine and sweet spices.
This Vin de France Rosé Etoile 2022 is the ideal companion for lamb chops à la plancha.
