Domaines Ott

The heart of Provence distilled in a bottle with Ott wines

Born of the passion of a young Alsatian agronomist, Marcel Ott, who at the end of the 19th century settled in the heart of the rolling, inspiring landscapes of Provence, Ott wine has been winning the hearts of the most discerning palates for over 100 years.

120 years of passion for excellence

When Marcel Ott settled on the land that would later become Domaine Ott, the region's vines were in poor condition. Phylloxera had stripped the warm, rich soil of Provence of its high-quality vines, which had to be replanted to gradually create new, delicate, warm flavors. 120 years later, the challenge has been brilliantly met. The Ott cousins, Christian and Jean-François, are now the worthy heirs of an enduring passion for wine, which they bring to life through a Domaine Ott wine in red, white or rosé, whose flavors and quality are unmistakable.

A trio of complementary fields

The wine production of the Ott estate is divided into 3 estates. Château de Selle, first acquired by Marcel Ott in 1912, is located in Taradeau, near the Abbaye du Thoronet. Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah share its arid, mineral soil. The average age of these vines is 19 years. Clos Mireille faces the Mediterranean, bathed in sunshine and sea breezes. Its limestone-free schist and clay soil gives rise to wines with delicate, refined tastes that will take you on a voyage between land and sea. Finally, Château Romassan, located in the Var region, has a hard, dry, sun-drenched soil rich in limestone, sandstone and marl. From this ungenerous cradle come particularly robust Bandol AOC wines of inimitable character. The estate's land, organized into small plots, is planted with Mourvèdre, but also with Cinsault, Syrah and Grenache grapes, whose hardy plants live an average of 25 years.

The wines from these three estates have their own distinct identities, but share one thing: the bottle!

Domaine Ott wines

Domaine Ott wines are easily recognizable by their iconic bottle, created by Marcel Ott himself back in 1930 and inspired by the ancient amphorae that kept wine fresh and thirst-quenching. This unique container holds elixirs to please every palate. Château de Selle produces both rosé and red AOC Côtes de Provence wines. Domaine Ott's rosé wine is not limited to this one location; it is also present at Clos Mireille, where a fresh, supple rosé with citrus notes sits alongside a blanc de blanc with hints of broom. Château Romassan is the heart of a more robust, long-lasting production of red and rosé wines.

You'll also find Ott white, rosé and red wines, all BY O.T.T. products, special varietals from the new winery at Château de Selle.

Finally, let's not forget the Étoile, the Domaine Ott rosé par excellence, as it is the result of the original marriage of the 3 Ott estates. A union that shatters the conventions of viticulture to produce a unique rosé wine that explodes on the palate, sublimating the rigors of dry soils, Mediterranean winds, the aridity and sunny character of Provence, in unique and incredibly balanced aromatic notes. The perfect match!

With an unrivalled terroir facing the sea, the Clos Mireille vines benefit from the Côte d'Azur warmth and sea spray, ideal for the development of Sémillon and Rolle.

"Racy elegance, fullness and tension for this rosé!"

"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 slowly fade away." (Vinous 2023)

"Elegant Provence

Clos Mireille is a little corner of paradise where the vines overlook the sea at La Londe Les Maures, situated on a very old terroir, marked by the absence of limestone and blending schist and clay. This expressive, rich rosé expresses fruity aromas of melon of melon and mango. Fresh and invigorating, the palate is mineral, generous and long-lasting.

"Deep and fragrant, this red also finds plenty of tension in its wood ageing. A sanguine, vigorous approach to a Mourvèdre that will prove very digestible in bottle." (RVF Spécial Millésime 2013 - June 2014) This is a quality Bandol, produced according to the rules and style imposed by the Ott family since they acquired the Château in 1956. Not to be missed!

"Located close to the sea (you can throw a stone in the water), this vineyard produces a fresh, almost saline wine, with a hint of tart citrus. It's fragrant, hinting at raspberries and pears. The finish offers a precise, delicious acidic framework." (Wine Enthusiast 2016) A terroir, a microclimate, meticulous viticulture and state-of-the-art vinification, Clos Mireille remains one of Provence's emblems.

Mourvèdre, the majority of the blend, gives this Bandol rosé its racy, original character. Fresh and delicate, this Cuvée Coeur de Grain presents citrus and stone fruit flavors such as vine peach. But its distinctive character lies in the floral and spicy notes that develop with aeration. A wonderful discovery!

Les Domaniers 2012 red, a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, develops a mosaic of black fruits, leather and sweet spices on the nose. The palate expresses freshness and elegant notes of fruit and licorice, enhanced by a hint of menthol. The tannins mellow over time. Good value for money!

A terroir, a microclimate, meticulous viticulture and state-of-the-art vinification, Clos Mireille remains one of Provence's emblems. This 2014 Cuvée Coeur de Grain is the perfect example; its minerality and citrus notes are characteristic of this great-looking rosé that will delight Provence lovers.

Château de Selle - Comtes de Provence 2011

Comte de Provence 2011 is an outstanding red wine. Made predominantly from Syrah and some Cabernet Sauvignon, this red wine has a strong aromatic character: black fruits, spices and hints of leather develop on the nose, making this wine an excellent companion for the table. Round on the palate, with a long finish. Not to be missed!

Château de Selle - Coeur de grain 2014

Château de Selle's Cœur de Grain 2014 comes from arid soils in the limestone hills of Provence. Even so, this blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon presents particularly fresh, elegant flavors that linger gracefully on the palate.
