“A friendly, expressive rosé, with white cherry and peach notes lined with wet straw, jasmine and savory hints. Soft on the edges, but will have a lot of fans for sure. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now.”

“Bright, peach skin color. Fresh pit fruit and red berry scents are complemented by building floral and orange pith nuances. Smooth and open knit, showing good breadth and depth to its juicy strawberry, tangerine and white peach flavors. The floral note recurs on the nicely persistent finish, which features a subtle hint of fennel.”

Overview

Domaines Ott has been pioneering prestige rosé wines since 1912. Founded in 1896 by Marcel Ott, the wine estates of Domaines Ott were acquired by Louis Roederer in 2004. Descendants of the founder carry on the heritage of producing some of the world’s most prestigious wines from the French Riviera.

BY.OTT is a wine produced with all the savoir-faire of the Domaines Ott team in the newly-constructed cellar of Château de Selle. It is a refined and elegant wine for any rosé enthusiast. The blends originate from select vineyards in Côtes de Provence that have been chosen to ensure that the wine is characterized by fruit and freshness with added finesse and complexity.

Winemaking

BY.OTT Côtes de Provence Rosé is primarily sourced from Château de Selle and Clos Mireille (80%) and balanced with fruit from trusted vineyards established generations ago. Ott vineyards are farmed organically and the average age of vines is 22 years.

The wine is made under the strict supervision of fourth generation winemaker Jean-Francois Ott. The quality of the wine is perfectly homogenous and consistent, from the first to last bottling.

All the winemaking processes are fully controlled – from blending to storage – to ensure that the highest quality standards are maintained.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant blush hue. Expressive, fruity nose with aromas of wild peaches and redcurrants. Fresh and bright with a nicely balanced body which reveals a silky, velvety texture. On the palate, the wine bursts with notes of peach and citrus fruits and finishes with a fusion of plum and cardamon aromas.
