This 2018 vintage presents a lovely ruby colour and aromas of morello cherries and liquorice on the nose. The wine is soft and broad on entry to the palate revealing roasted aromas and a lovely fragrance of peppermint. Its lingering flavours are underpinned by lovely spicy notes. This powerful aromatic bouquet combined with silky tannins lends the wine a fresh, luscious character.

2018 is a vintage which, with its frosts, hail, summer storms and lack of wind, will remain engrained in our memories for a very long time. We had to remain vigilant at all times in order to deal with these complications efficiently and ensure that the growing cycle was able to continue in the right conditions. On tasting, the berries revealed less sugars than the previous years, but good balance nonetheless. Harvesting on all 3 domaines kicked off on 14 August and was over by mid-September. The team was relieved and proud of the excellent yields across all of the vineyards. Vinification gave rise to a fruity, ethereal and perfectly balanced vintage.

Domaines Ott

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.
