OTT CHATEAU DE SELLE ROSE

OTT Romassan Bandol Rosé

Origin & Style

A distinguished rosé wine from the Bandol appellation in Provence, France, crafted by the historic Domaines Ott estate. Bandol is renowned for producing some of the most serious and age‑worthy rosés in the world, and Romassan embodies this tradition with elegance and structure.

Grape Composition

Typically dominated by Mourvèdre, with notable contributions from Cinsault and Grenache. Mourvèdre provides structure and complexity, while Cinsault and Grenache add roundness, red fruit character, and aromatic lift.

Appearance

Pale peach‑pink with subtle rose gold highlights that reflect Bandol’s Mediterranean terroir.

Aroma (Nose)

Inviting aromatics of red berries (strawberry, raspberry) mingle with candied citrus, lemon verbena, and bright citrus zest. Floral and saline hints add complexity and freshness.

Flavor (Palate)

Clean, vibrant, and harmoniously balanced, with fresh citrus and red fruit flavors supported by a refreshing acidity. The palate often reveals nuances of pomelo and Mediterranean herbs, creating both vibrancy and depth.

Finish

A lingering, crisply balanced finish with continued fruit presence, a touch of saline minerality, and refined persistence — a signature of quality Bandol rosé.

Alcohol Content

Typically around 13% ABV, which is common in premium Provençal rosés.

Mouthfeel

Medium‑bodied for a rosé with a silky, refined texture and a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and mineral drive.

Food Pairing

A versatile companion to Mediterranean cuisine — seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, Provençal salads, tapenade, and light poultry dishes. Its structure also allows pairing with more flavorful fare like bouillabaisse or tomato‑based dishes.

Overall Profile

A refined and elegant Provençal rosé that marries fresh red fruit, citrus brightness, and subtle Mediterranean herbal and mineral notes. It reflects both the rugged limestone and marl soils of Bandol and the long, sun‑drenched growing season, offering complexity and harmony that rewards both casual sipping and thoughtful food pairing.
