Domaines Ott Rose Coeur de Grain AOC

A blend of 58% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, 10% Syrah and 7% Mourvedre. The wine is made under the strict supervision of cousins Jean-Francois Ott and Christian Ott, the fourth generation of winemakers. The quality of the wine is perfectly homogenous and consistent, from the first to last bottling. All the winemaking processes are fully controlled – from blending to storage – to ensure that the highest quality standards are maintained.

Located in the Côtes de Provence appellation, located inland on limestone hillsides, enjoying abundant sunshine. The proportion of stone in the soil is 40 to 50 percent, making it an arid soil and, despite the presence of some extremely fertile clay deposits, yields are low. Château de Selle has an area of 345 acres, of which 160 acres are planted. Year after year, the cultivated area of the estate wins over part of the rocky terrain. The earth is mechanically tilled while retaining a natural balance, the original proportion of stone being maintained after harvest.

Clear, pale pink hue with rose-gold tints. The nose opens with delicate floral notes and aromas of acacia blossom. Fruity notes of grapefruit, yellow peach and redcurrant, complemented by a subtle hint of almond. The palate is generous with a lovely silky texture and notes of stone fruit and a pleasant citrus freshness (lime and grapefruit). The finish is persistent and brings a delicate touch of spice.

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