General Information
Originating from a region located by the Mediterranean Sea, the inimitable character of the rosé wine Ott Clos Mireille Rosé 2023 is undoubtedly found in the proximity of the vineyards to the sea. The minerality of the terroir and the presence of dry winds from the hills combined with the sea breeze provide a unique personality to this delicate Provençal rosé from Domaines Ott.
Domaines Ott is a French winery that traces its origins to Marcel Ott, an Alsatian agronomist who, while traveling through France in 1896, discovered the richness of Provence and decided to establish his viticultural project there. 120 years later, Christian and Jean-François Ott, the fourth generation, lead, together with the Louis Roederer firm, the new oenological direction of the winery, centered around three very special estates: Château de Selle, Clos Mireille, and Château Romassan. There lie the exceptional vineyards that nurture wines like this magnificent Clos Mireille Rosé we are discussing.
This rosé from the A.O.C. Côtes de Provence is both expressive and complex, with a rich and velvety texture, featuring notes of citrus, melon, and mango. Ott Clos Mireille Rosé 2023 is the perfect rosé to pair with all kinds of appetizers, fish-based dishes, and white meats.
Tasting notes
Ott Clos Mireille Rosé boasts a beautiful pale pink color, clean and bright.
Expressive, fruity, and crisp nose, with citrus notes, white fruit (melon), and slightly acidic mango.
On the palate, after a beautiful and vibrant attack, it reveals itself as tense, mineral, smooth, and elegant, with the typical energy of fresh summer fruit. It has a decidedly mineral core and finishes with a subtle persistence.
The winery
Winery
Domaines Ott originates from the vision of the Alsatian agricultural engineer Marcel Ott. In 1896, Ott traveled through various wine regions in search of the ideal lands to start his winemaking project, and it was in the Provence area where he found his dream location.
Before his arrival, phylloxera had wreaked havoc across the Mediterranean region, and Marcel decided to acquire new properties in the area with the goal of rehabilitating the land for vine cultivation. His aim was to create high-quality wines from noble grape varieties.
Thus, in 1912, Marcel Ott acquired Château de Selle, the property that marked the official foundation of his winery and the beginning of his winemaking journey. To this estate, he added Clos Mireille in 1936 and Château Romassan in 1956. These three properties, two of which are classified as Cru Classé of Côtes de Provence, now form the Domaines Ott brand.
The winery produces white, rosé, and red wines under a philosophy of respect for nature and family tradition. A treasure of delicacy reigns in their cellars. Since 1930, they have produced the famous Rosé Coeur de Grain (heart of the grain), considered by many as one of the best rosé wines in the world. The founder's son, Rene Ott, designed an original bottle in the 1930s to distinguish this wine from others that were served in carafes. A true work of art inspired by the Provençal hillsides and cypress trees.
Since 2004, Domaines Ott has been part of the great wine empire Louis Roederer, though it continues to be led by the fourth generation of the family (Jean-François Ott and Christian Ott).
