| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe wine displays a bright, pretty peachy-pink hue. The luscious nose blends aromas of white peach and exotic fruit with hints of vanilla. The whole is complemented by a lemony and slightly spicy touch reminiscent of everlasting flowers. The soft, broad palate is accompanied by a pleasant freshness that adds length and leads to a citrus and yellow fruit finish.\r\nBlend: 60% Grenache, 28% Cinsault, 8% Syrah, 4% Mourv\u00e8dre \r\nJames Suckling 91 Points\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Winery\r\nIn 1896, after a tour of France\u2019s many vineyards, Marcel Ott, a young graduate in agronomy engineering from Alsace, finally found an estate that inspired him. To set the scene, we are in Provence. The Mediterranean is lapping at the shore a mere stone\u2019s throw away.\r\nIn these parts, growing vines is the legacy of ancient times. Alas, a short while before Marcel Ott\u2019s discovery, phylloxera had wreaked havoc on the vines. The land was cheaper, but the vineyards would have to be replanted. The wine had lost a great deal of its soul in the vineyard\u2019s reconstruction. Marcel Ott bought several estates and began renovating them with the determined ambition to create great Provencal wines from noble grape varieties.\r\nToday, 120 years later, cousins Christian and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Ott dedicate their life to their ancestor\u2019s love for the site. In 2004, Domaines Ott* joined Louis Roederer and its fabulous selection of wine craftsmen. |
