Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Rosé 2021

This has bright, crystal-clear salmon hue and an assertive character. The rich, fresh and fruity nose expresses aromas of melon and peach interspersed with subtle hints of 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. 

Domaine Ott is the most famous producer of Dry Rosé in the world and located in southern France in Provence, producing quintessential Dry Rosé. Marcel Ott, an agricultural engineer with a pioneer spirit, set out to create a wine estate in 1896 and this is considered by many to be the best Dry Rosé in the world. Made from handpicked Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes. 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.
