Domaine Ott 'By Ott' Côtes de Provence Rosé 2025

Winemaking

Domaines Ott stands as one of Provence's most respected rosé producers, built on a philosophy of precision and restraint. The house prioritizes early harvesting and cool fermentation to preserve the wine's delicate aromatics and bright acidity—an approach that has elevated their rosés far beyond the casual stereotype. Each vintage reflects a commitment to expressing the pure character of their terroir rather than chasing color or weight.

Tasting Notes

This 'By Ott' rosé opens with inviting aromas of fresh strawberry and white peach, layered with subtle citrus notes and a whisper of mineral salinity. The palate is beautifully crisp and dry, with bright red fruit flavors that feel clean and focused rather than jammy or heavy. Fine acidity gives the wine a natural liveliness, and the finish lingers pleasantly with a touch of white stone fruit and saline minerality that keeps you reaching for another sip.

Producer

Domaines Ott is a multi-estate operation with deep roots in Provence, known for pioneering the modern style of dry, sophisticated rosé. The houses manage vineyards across three key Provençal locations, maintaining strict quality control and a preference for sustainable viticulture practices. Their reputation rests on consistency and refusal to compromise—they are makers of serious rosé for serious drinkers.

Terroir

Côtes de Provence is the largest and most diverse appellation in Provence, stretching across the eastern Mediterranean coast with soils ranging from limestone to schist and clay. The region benefits from abundant sunshine and the cooling Mistral winds that funnel down the Rhône Valley, which helps preserve acidity and freshness in the grapes. This balance between ripeness and natural tension is the signature of Provence's best dry rosés.

Food Pairings

Serve this alongside a simple grilled branzino with lemon and olive oil, or pair it with a composed salad of heirloom tomatoes, burrata, and basil. For casual entertaining, it's equally at home with charcuterie, goat cheese, and fresh fruit—its acidity and dryness make it a natural aperitif as well.
