Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Coeur de Grain Rosé 2020 1.5L

In 1896 Marcel Ott of Alsace found an estate which inspired him, Chateau de Selle in Taradeau, Provence, where once olives, lavender and mulberries grew. Enjoying a unique microclimate the wines are delicate and elegant with great depth. In the 1930s, Marcel Ott fell in love with the very old Clos Mireille, overlooking the sea at La Londe Les Maures, near Bregançon. The vines soon started producing distinctive yet subtle wines. Chateau Romassan in Bandol was acquired by the Ott family in 1956, and following years of terracing and replanting produces robust, harmonious and long lived wines. Cœur de Grain represents wine-making genius, and today the distinctive bottle evokes the memory of the elegant amphora of centuries past. Today, 120 years later, cousins Jean-François and Christian Ott dedicate their lives to their ancestor’s love for Provence.

Glistening orange-pink. Vibrant, mineral-accented cherry, peach, and honeydew scents, along with orange pith and floral nuances. Stains the palate with juicy red berry, citrus fruit and lavender flavors that show very good depth as well as liveliness. Shows firm tension and dusty mineral character on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves melon and blood orange notes behind. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, June 2021, 94 Points
