Domaines Ott Étoile Rosé represents the pinnacle of Provençal artistry — luminous, complex, and masterfully composed. Blending the finest cuvées from all three Ott estates, this rare rosé captures the essence of the Mediterranean: elegance, minerality, and timeless sophistication.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Very bright and radiant appearance with a peachy hue and delicate pearly highlights. The first nose reveals a fine minerality, then opens up with white peach and citrus fruit fragrances. Hints of tarragon bring a touch of freshness to the whole. The exceptionally silky entry to the palate lends the wine a distinctive texture, building energy and complexity and revealing an elegant blend of pomelo, strawberry and sweet lemon. The spicy finish on this first class rosé shows its great potential for cellar-ageing.

Craftsmanship & Story
Founded in 1912, Domaines Ott is synonymous with the finest rosés in Provence. Étoile — meaning “star” — is the culmination of over a century of winemaking mastery. Crafted from Grenache and Mourvèdre sourced from Clos Mireille, Château de Selle, and Château Romassan, this rosé reflects the salinity of the coast, the elegance of limestone, and the depth of Bandol’s clay soils. Meticulous vinification in stainless steel and ceramic vessels ensures purity, texture, and longevity.
Special Features
Étoile Rosé stands apart as a “free composition,” a blend that transcends appellations to express the soul of all three estates. Each vintage is reimagined to reflect the year’s character, uniting freshness, depth, and refinement. Its amphora-inspired bottle embodies the balance between tradition, innovation, and timeless beauty.
