Château Romassan Rosé Bandol AOP 1,5l Magnum - Domaines Ott

The Château Romassan Rosé Bandol AOP 1.5l Magnum - Domaines Ott displays a delicate yet intensely radiant salmon pink in the glass, with copper highlights. Fine, precise aromas rise as soon as the wine is swirled. On the nose, an elegant interplay of aromas unfolds, featuring juicy grapefruit, fresh redcurrant and a clear, cool minerality. Delicate hints of white flowers and a touch of Mediterranean herbs lend the bouquet additional depth and refinement.

On the palate, this rosé is absolutely focused and precise. Its texture is silky and polished, supported by lively, tautly structured acidity. Redcurrant and grapefruit stand out clearly, accompanied by delicate citrus nuances and a salty-mineral undertone reminiscent of the nearby sea. The body is medium-bodied, with remarkable length and an impressively fresh, clear finish. Fine, barely perceptible tannins from the Mourvèdre grape provide grip and structure without overshadowing its elegance.

The blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre comes from the renowned Bandol region in Provence. Grenache contributes charm, red fruit and accessibility, while Mourvèdre provides structure, depth and the distinctive spicy-mineral backbone. Its origin in the AOC Bandol is reflected in the intense aromatics, salty precision and impressive balance between freshness, structure and finesse. In the 1.5-litre Magnum format, its complexity and delicacy unfold with particular harmony.

Production of the Château Romassan Rosé Bandol AOP 1.5l Magnum - Domaines Ott

The grapes for this rosé come from selected sites around Bandol in Provence. The Mediterranean climate, with many hours of sunshine, cool sea breezes and pronounced temperature differences between day and night, ensures perfectly ripe, aromatic berries. The vines are rooted in sandstone soils whose mineral composition gives the blend its characteristic salty freshness and distinctive, elegant character.

The grapes are harvested selectively and with exacting quality standards, as only flawless grapes make it to the cellar. Grenache and Mourvèdre are harvested separately with great care, allowing each variety to be picked at its ideal stage of ripeness. This precise approach ensures the fine balance of fresh fruit, structure and aromatic depth for which Bandol rosés are so highly regarded.

In the cellar, Domaines Ott relies on gentle handling. The grapes are transported quickly and carefully to the press in order to preserve the delicate colour and pure fruit. The must flows clear and clean into temperature-controlled tanks, where slow, cool fermentation takes place. This maturation preserves the delicate aromas of grapefruit, currant and citrus and creates a precise, crystal-clear style.

Part of the blend is also given time on the fine lees, lending the wine a silky succulence and a fine, creamy texture. The use of wood is extremely restrained and clearly serves elegance rather than taking centre stage. The result is a rosé that is simultaneously fruit-driven, mineral and structured. Bottling in the 1.5-litre Magnum extends its development in the bottle and intensifies its aromatic harmony.

The style of Domaines Ott shapes this rosé at every stage. Precise vineyard work, low yields and uncompromising selection result in grapes of exceptional quality. In the cellar, a philosophy of restraint prevails: state-of-the-art technology remains in the background, while terroir and grape variety take centre stage. The result is a Bandol rosé that combines elegance, depth and character and is particularly impressive in Magnum format.
