The 2024 Domaines Ott Château Romassan Bandol Rosé is an elegant and sophisticated French rosé from Bandol in Provence, produced by the renowned Domaines Ott estate. Crafted primarily from Mourvèdre, traditionally complemented by Grenache and Cinsault, this wine reflects the distinctive limestone-rich soils, Mediterranean sunshine and coastal influences of the Bandol appellation. Its delicate salmon-pink colour introduces an expressive aromatic profile of white peach, wild strawberries, redcurrants and pink grapefruit, complemented by subtle notes of orange blossom, Mediterranean herbs and gentle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied for a rosé, offering a refined, silky texture balanced by refreshing acidity and delicate savoury structure. Flavours of ripe peach, fresh raspberry, citrus zest and juicy melon unfold alongside hints of blood orange, dried herbs and subtle saline minerality. The finish is dry, elegant and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit, citrus peel and gentle Mediterranean spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium Provence rosé with greater depth, refined texture and savoury complexity. The 2024 Domaines Ott Château Romassan Bandol Rosé offers a distinctive expression of Bandol, combining delicate red-fruit flavours with refreshing citrus, mineral character and a beautifully structured palate. Enjoy between 2026 and 2029, with careful cellaring allowing its savoury qualities to develop further. Serve chilled at approximately 10–12°C to appreciate its layered aromatics and texture. Particularly well suited to grilled Moreton Bay bugs, seared tuna, Mediterranean seafood, roast chicken with herbs, bouillabaisse, grilled lamb cutlets or a Provençal vegetable tart.
