Nose: Lots of gravel minerality present with a trace of sweet cherries and cornbread. Palate: High tension from the firm acids combined with the minerals wakes up the palate. Fruit is in a supporting role but gives just enough strawberry. My first bottle of Romassan/Bandol offering from Ott. Outstanding and possibly could displace the de Selle as my favorite from this house. Pricey…but damn good.

An all-around good French rose. It has an awesome chiseled minerality on the finish. The price is a little questionable, especially in USA, but darn tasty.

Very nice and tasty. A great warm weather sipper. Medium body and acidity, fruity with just a hint of mineral. Simple but pleasant.
Price never figures into my ratings, and while I normally avoid any sort of QPR discussion because what is a good value to me may be something completely different for you, it is difficult to resist in this case. There are so many similar roses in the $20-$30 range I can purchase locally that the +$40 makes this a difficult sell for future purchase.

Another high quality Rosé, full of fresh fruit and with a lovely mineral core that gives it structure. A mofe serious bottle I felt than the Selle. Tasted at the Domaine, €25 at the cellar door but believe that this is available from Majestic in the UK.

Pale pink with golden tint. Pink grapefruit, yellow peach, and white flowers. Medium acidity, good mid-palate and good grip. We paired it with Domaine Ott Clos Mireille Cotes de Provence Rosé 2021. Romassan was more intense and masculine in contrast to Mireille. I preferred the Romassan over Mireille.
