Blanc de Blancs Clos Mireille

Classic seafood match especially grilled fish and fish soups.

At Clos Mireille, the average age of the vines is 16 years old. The soil is composed of shale. Its location by the shores of the Mediterranean and at the foot of the hills is unusual, and the character of its wines is even more exceptional in that the clay soil on this ancient rocky outcrop does not contain any limestone. The broad sea-facing façade also helps shape the inimitable character of Clos Mireille’s wines. The microclimate and the sea spray create the perfect conditions for producing subtle and distinctive wines.

The grapes are all hand picked and go through a stringent selective sorting followed by an extremely delicate pressing in vertical presses. Slow (alcoholic and malolactic) fermentation is followed by ageing in oak casks. Bottling is done the following spring and then the wine is stored in the cellars for 8 to 12 months.

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 but particularly rosé wines made at distinctively different estates in Bandol and Côtes de Provence appellations.
