Rosés

Domaines Ott By.Ott Rosé 2024, Côtes De Provence, Provence A.O.C., France: Domaines Ott By.Ott Rosé from Côtes de Provence A.O.C. is a dry, light-to-medium-bodied rosé of genuine Provençal charm, blended from organically farmed Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre sourced primarily from the estate vineyards of Château de Selle and Clos Mireille, with a pale luminous shell-pink hue and a delicate, fragrant nose of white peach, fresh-cut lychee, honeysuckle and a dusting of cardamom that leads to a fruit-forward, silky palate with vibrant acidity and a clean, mineral-kissed finish. Fourth-generation winemaker Jean-François Ott oversees production with the same meticulous organic philosophy that founder Marcel Ott established when he first planted these estates beginning in 1912, after falling in love with the Provençal landscape as a young agronomy graduate from Alsace who arrived near the Mediterranean coast in 1896. Domaines Ott has been part of the Louis Roederer Collection since 2004 and was recognized with a Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award in 2022, cementing its status as one of Provence's most beloved and enduring rosé houses. Serve it well chilled alongside a strawberry and spinach salad with a light citrus vinaigrette, where the wine's floral delicacy and refreshing acidity make an effortless match; it is equally graceful with cold roast turkey sandwiches layered with herbed cream cheese, the wine's bright fruit and clean finish cutting through every bite beautifully. Enjoy through 2029. Rosé food pairings: strawberry spinach salad, cold roast turkey sandwiches, veal scaloppini.
