A refined, restrained style, with beautiful textural purity to the delicate notes of melon, rose water and herbes de Provence. Salty and mouthwatering through the well-meshed finish, which shows range, energy and mineral depth. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now.

While the Romassan is all plushness and the de Selle is all drive, the 2024 Rosé Clos Mireille is all about fine delineation and precision. The core of fruit here is so pure. White cherry, white nectarine, apricot and Seville orange are all crystal clear. Everything about the 2024 speaks to pedigree, calibrated winemaking and finesse. The Clos Mireille is superb and uncompromising in its balance. Provence Rosé at its finest.
Overview
Domaines Ott was founded in 1896 by Alsatian engineer Marcel Ott. Today, the wineries are owned and managed by Champagne Louis Roederer, producing some of the world’s most prestigious wines. These wines are made at three distinctively different estates: Château Romassan (Bandol), Clos Mireille and Château de Selle (both Côtes de Provence).
Clos Mireille is the second estate acquired by the Ott family in 1936. Clos Mireille is in an exceptional location on the Mediterranean coast, in La Londe les Maures, where the average vine age is 17 years. This is idyllic Provence. Its ancient soil, a mixture of schist and limestone-free clay, benefits from a microclimate permeated by sea spray, which explains the inimitable character of the wines produced from the 124 acres at Clos Mireille.
Domaines Ott wines are certified organic starting with the 2022 vintage.
Winemaking
The grapes are all hand-picked, followed by strict and selective sorting. Extremely delicate pressing extracts the best of the grapes and color; there is short skin contact in the press. Slow fermentation takes place followed by aging in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Bottling is done the following spring.
Tasting Notes
Shimmering golden pink color. Fresh and expressive nose, with notes of yellow fruits, a hint of boxwood leaf and a touch of spicy cardamom. Palate is juicy and vibrant with beautiful tension, fresh peach flavors shine with brilliance. Smooth and delicious finish.
Harvest Notes
Spring was mild and rainy but was not excessively wet followed by a hot dry summer with cool nights. Gradual and even ripening, resulted in healthy, good acidity, providing us with greater elegance and ageing potential in our wines.
