Mourvèdre, the predominant grape variety in this blend, gives this Bandol rosé its distinctive and original character. Fresh and delicate, this Cœur de Grain cuvée offers flavors of citrus and stone fruits such as vine peaches. But its unique character lies in the floral and spicy notes that develop with aeration. A wonderful discovery!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
A prominent family in Provençal wine, the Otts entered the wine industry by acquiring Château de Selle in 1912, Clos Mireille in 1930, and Domaine Romassan in 1956. Taken over by the Roederer group in 2004, the wine business continues under the leadership of Christian and Jean-François, the Ott cousins, proving that the family remains very involved and is still a shareholder. The finest vintages are all rosés and remain, with admirable consistency, among the most successful in Provence.

About wine:
The Mourvèdre in this blend gives this wine a distinctive, fragrant, and structured style. The aromas of ripe yellow fruits and tropical fruits are spiced with hints of young red fruits. Intensely ripe and crisp with acidity.
