Domaines Ott Rosé Romassan AC Bandol 0.75L

The Château Romassan from Domaines Ott is one of the most well-known addresses in Bandol — a small but fine appellation on the Provençal coast between Toulon and Cassis. The Ott family has been managing the winery for generations and has helped shape the rosé style of the region: structured, dry, with a clear terroir character instead of pleasing sweetness.

Marl and limestone soils, intense sunlight, and the drying Mistral shape the terroir around Romassan. The predominant Cinsault brings freshness and finesse to the wine — a grape variety that shows its most elegant side in this location. The organic-certified cultivation according to FR-BIO-01 ensures clean, unadulterated fruit in the glass.

The color is a light, luminous peach pink with a salmon shimmer. On the nose, nectarine, white flowers, and a hint of citrus peel appear, underneath a fine mineral note reminiscent of chalk. On the palate, dry and lively, with a crisp acid structure that keeps the wine long and fresh. The finish brings subtle spice — herbs de Provence, a touch of white pepper — and a salty minerality that is typical for Bandol rosé wines from these soils.

Serve at 10–12 °C. The Romassan is an ideal companion to grilled sea bass with fennel, bouillabaisse, or langoustines with aioli. Equally good with a goat cheese salad with tomatoes or as an aperitif on the terrace when the sun is low.
