Chateau de Selle Rose

This pairs well with flambéed or glazed monkfish with vegetables, grilled poultry in a sauce, or fruit desserts.

Once again, the 2022 vintage did not bring much water to our Provençal vineyards. This was very difficult for the vine and was also a real challenge for the winegrower. Over the course of its history, Domaines Ott* has evolved to cope well in such conditions. With low rainfall levels up until late June and very high summer temperatures, all of our efforts were focused on keeping our clusters in an environment that was as cool as possible. To obtain perfectly ripe grapes, we were still hoping for some rain before the harvest. This long-awaited rainfall did not arrive until 17 August which was the very first day of harvesting. But we did not have just rain, we also had some hail, which was fortunately accompanied by heat and wind. All of the grapes were in the cellars by 29 September.

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.
