Domaines Ott : Château Romassan 2022

The elegance and depth of a Bandol rosé wine

The estate

A young agriculturalist from Alsace, Marcel Ott settled in Provence in 1896 determined to turn around a phylloxera-ravaged vineyard to produce great wines. Today, the Ott family has handed down this know-how to produce a range of rosé, red and white Provence wines from three estates: Château de Selle, Clos Mireille and Château Romassan. Created by René Ott in the 1930s, the striking Domaines Ott* bottle is a sign of the quality of these great wines of Provence. In 2004, Domaines Ott* joined the Louis Roederer House.

The vineyard

Acquired in 1956 by the Ott family, Château Romassan is located in the west of the Var. The 74-hectare vineyard is planted on very large terroirs with limestone, sandstone, marl and gravel soils that give rise to racy, powerful Bandol wines with good ageing potential. The sea air of the Gulf of Bandol compensates for the acidity of the terroir and the low rainfall of the region.
