RATED 90 WINE SPECTATOR : This has bright, crystal-clear salmon hue, a rich, fresh and fruity nose with aromas of melon, peach and wild strawberry. On entry, the wine is fresh and invigorating, buoyed by notes of lemon peel and zesty exotic fruit and accompanied by a full-bodied saline palate. The finish, crunchy like summer fruit, lingers with lovely light notes leaving an impression of succulence. A quintessential Dry Rosé.

Made from handpicked Cabernet, Grenache and Cinsault grapes, the wine is aged in oak for 8 months giving it more body and richness. Chateau de Selle was acquired in 1912. It is situated on the plateaux of the Var, not far from Le Luc, in the heart of Côtes de Provence country encompassing 110 hectares, including 48 devoted to wine production. The Château was the former dwelling of the Counts of Provence and is a superb 18th-c. country house. The surrounding estate was entirely carved into the rocky land by Marcel Ott, his children and grandchildren. 

Magnums of Château de Selle 2020 : RATED 93 WINE ADVOCATE : 'Pale and coppery as usual, Ott's 2020 Cotes de Provence Rose Chateau de Selle boasts restrained aromas of peach, melon and citrus underscored by hints of crushed stone. In the mouth, it's medium-bodied and concentrated, with ample intensity, a slightly creamy texture and a long, mouthwatering finish. Like the other top rosés of Domaines Ott, this is a wine that is often better in its second year.' This pairs well with flambéed or glazed monkfish with vegetables, grilled poultry in a sauce, or fruit desserts. 

Born from a very good year, Étoile 2020 took shape naturally. Keeping the original idea of selecting the most singular juices from the Ott estate's best Bandol and Côtes-de-Provence parcels, an inspired wine was created. Like all Domaines Ott rosé wines, which are capable of long aging, Étoile has a very great ability to evolve with time in the bottle. It is a wine in its own right, a terroir wine that the estate wanted to make for the long term. Over the years, the salinity of Clos Mireille, the power of Château Romassan, the finesse of Château de Selle will be expressed with complexity. With time, the wine will gain volume, defy its contours, as if to root its terroirs deeper at its heart.
