From one of the three Ott estates, with vineyards running down to the beach and cooled by maritime winds comes this palest of pale rosés. Starting delicately, before opening out to notes of orange, perfumed citrus, crunchy red berries, a taut, briney elegance and salted peaches. The saline minerality jostles with pretty but intense concentration and jubilant acidity. Perfumed, juicy and mouthwatering freshness with lovely varietal expression from this blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle.

This illustrates just how different the Mourvèdre-based rosés of this coastal appellation can be, in comparison to rosés from the rest of Provence. Delicately pale salmon pink. Restrained aromas of bruised peach, garrigue and barely ripe apricots. The Mourvèdre shines here with concentration, sour lemon acidity and creamy, ripe, sweet black fruit. There is fine-grained minerality leading to linear austerity and a mouthwatering finish.

A reminder of Bandol's superiority when it comes to rosé. Crushed stone minerality grounds this fresh, alluring version, with notes of dried lavender and salted herbs alongside mandarin acidity. This well-meshed version sings in harmony from start to vibrant finish. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Drink now through 2028.

Dense and complex, this ultra-pale version starts off a bit closed before opening up to reveal apple blossom, crunchy nectarine and pear flavors cut with notes of crushed flint, while a thread of salty, smoky dried green herbs cruises through. Creamy and refined, this is drinkable and delicious. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2028.

Shows impressive power, offering red currant and juicy melon flavors powered by mouthwatering acidity and mineral energy. Dried rose petal and lavender accents add intrigue to the polished, silky palate, with the density and length making for a standout rosé. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now through 2028.
