Mourvèdre, which makes up the majority of 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 peach. But what truly sets it apart are the floral and spicy notes that emerge as it breathes. A wonderful discovery!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 is, in fact, still a shareholder. The finest vintages are all rosés and consistently rank among the most successful in Provence.
