Domaines Ott Etoile Rose

Domaines Ott's Etoile emerges from Les Baux-de-Provence, where Miocene limestone bedrock and clay soils at moderate elevation create the mineral spine characteristic of this appellation's finest expressions. The vineyard's south-facing aspect and the cooling influence of the Mistral wind moderate ripeness, preserving acidity.

Winemaking emphasizes extended skin contact — a deliberate choice that extracts color and mineral complexity without heavy extraction. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled conditions to preserve aromatic precision. The wine is aged on lees through spring, building textural depth while maintaining the pale, copper-tinged hue that distinguishes serious Provence rosé from industrial pink.

The 2024 vintage (or current release) displays the house signature: a wine that refuses the fruit-forward sweetness of mass-market rosé. Instead, limestone minerality, white stone, and dried herb aromatics dominate. Acidity remains taut and food-friendly across the drinking window, which extends 2–3 years from vintage.
