“Deep and aromatic, this red also gains a lot of structure from its aging in oak. A bold and vigorous take on Mourvèdre that will prove very easy to drink once bottled. ” (RVF Special Vintage 2013 – June 2014) This is a high-quality Bandol, produced according to the standards and style established by the Ott family since their acquisition of the château in 1956. Not to be missed!

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

A prominent family in the Provençal wine industry, the Otts entered the wine business by acquiring Château de Selle in 1912, Clos Mireille in 1930, and Domaine Romassan in 1956. Acquired by the Roederer Group in 2004, the winery continues to operate under the leadership of Christian and Jean-François, the Ott cousins—proof that the family remains deeply involved and, in fact, is still a shareholder. The finest vintages are all rosés and, with admirable consistency, remain among the most successful in Provence.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

On the nose, this Bandol reveals delicate aromas of black fruit, spices, and toasted notes. Equally subtle and light on the palate, it draws as much from its elegant aging as from its silky, well-integrated tannins. A pleasure to drink now, but it also has aging potential.

About the estate:

Originally from Alsace, the Ott family, who settled in Provence in 1896, acquired Romassan in 1956 (70 hectares at the foot of Le Castellet in the Bandol appellation) and also owns Château de Selle and Clos Mireille in the Côtes-de-Provence region. Two AOCs and a distinctive bottle, inspired by the Roman amphora. The estate (part of the Champagne house Roederer since 2004) is managed by cousins Christian and Jean-François Ott.
