Domaines Ott - Château Romassan Bandol rosé 2022

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

A major Provencal wine family, the Ott family entered the wine business with the acquisition of Château de Selle in 1912, Clos Mireille in 1930 and Domaine Romassan in 1956. Taken over by the Roederer group in 2004, the winegrowing activity continues under the leadership of Christian and Jean-François, the Ott cousins, proof that the family remains very much involved and is still a shareholder. The finest cuvées are all rosé and remain, with admirable regularity, among the most successful in Provence.

About the domain :

Alsatian by birth, the Ott family, who moved to Provence in 1896, acquired Romassan in 1956 (70 ha at the foot of Castellet in the Bandol appellation) and also owns Ch. de Selle and Clos Mireille in the Côtes-de-Provence region. Two AOCs and a unique bottle inspired by the Roman amphora. The business (owned by Champagne's Roederer since 2004) is run by cousins Christian and Jean-François Ott.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

About the wine:

Bandol Rose Château Romassan 2022, [...] reveals aromas of lemon, licorice, spices, peach, red berries and spring flowers. Moderately weighted and well-balanced, it is built around lively mineral acidity. This is a very singular, rather Provençal interpretation of Bandol.

Vinous A. Galloni

About the wine:

Château Romassan Rosé 2022 rises from the glass with a lovely blend of stone dust and savory herbs accenting notes of wild strawberry. The palate is silky and supple, with crisp notes of orchard fruit, tart citrus and minerals adding a tactile touch on the finish. The finish is powerful and admirably long. Young notes of peach and sage fade slowly.
