PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The distinguished elegance, fullness and lovely taut character of the Château Romassan Rosé are the result of meticulous vine tending and winemaking. Each plot is worked in accordance with its intrinsic qualities but the vines all grow in typical Bandol terroirs: arid soil (limestone, sandstone and sandy marl) and exceptionally dry, sunny weather.
These characteristics ensure that Mourvèdre, the major grape in this blend, fulfils its potential and provides solidity, structure and a great capacity for ageing. It is complemented by the full-bodied texture of Grenache, the softness of Cinsault and, for its small contribution, the fruity roundness of Syrah.
Its pale, ethereal pink colour tinted with gold or orange, releases a bouquet of citrus fruits and white orchard flowers. On the palate, the immediate effect is lively and bright, revealing notes of pink grapefruit, fleshy fruit and, once the wine has had a chance to breathe, hints of fruit tart. The finish is complex and lasting.
Domaines Ott was founded in 1912 by Marcel Ott, an agricultural engineer from Alsace who dreamed of establishing a great wine estate near the Mediterranean. Today, the wineries are owned and managed by Champagne Louis Roederer and produce some of the world's most prestigious wines. These wines are made at three distinctively different estates in the Bandol and Cotes de Provence appellations: Chateau Romassan, Clos Mireille and Chateau de Selle.
"The 2022 Bandol Rose Chateau Romassan, a blend of 55% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault and 20% Grenache, reveals aromas of lemon, licorice, spices, peach, red berries and spring flowers. Moderately weighted and nicely balanced, it is built around lively mineral acids. It’s a very singular, rather Provençal interpretation of Bandol." Robert Parker 89 Points
