Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Provence Rosé 2022

Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Provence Rosé Magnum, Cotes de Provence, France, 2022

Grapes: A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, organic, unoaked

The Clos Mireille property's vineyards overlook the Mediterranean and the sea breezes have a cooling effect on the fruit growing there. One of the oldest and best producers of rosé in Provence. Expensive, yes, but worth it for a "Cru Classé" wine.

The wine is a very pale pink highlighted, depending on the vintage, with golden, orange and even vermilion tints. Its bouquet reveals fresh fruit (mango, melon) punctuated with lemony notes. On the palate, its freshness develops through citrus aromas around a resolutely mineral core before ending with a subtly persistent finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Instantly brilliant in the glass, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Clos Mireille, a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and the balance of Rolle (or Vermentino), exhales aromas of red berries, lemon, peach, guava and hints of curry leaf. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, combining fine acidity and a salty, penetrating, mouthwatering finish. It’s one of the more gourmand, fleshy, generous wines in the Domaines Ott range."
