95 points “Diaphanous pink. Highly expressive mineral-tinged red berry honeydew melon and nectarine aromas show excellent focus and a suave floral nuance emerges with air. Palate-staining peach nectar raspberry and honeysuckle flavours are given lift and back-end cut by a minerally undercurrent. Concentrated but impressively lithe as well. There’s a resonating mineral quality on the penetrating finish which leaves behind a lingering floral note.” – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous
Rosé has a new star. Few rosés break the £100+ mark we can only think of Garrus by Château d’Esclans Clos du Temple by Gérard Bertrand and this the highly anticipated second vintage of Étoile by Domaines Ott.
Created using the very best wines produced at Domaines Ott’s three estates according to the cousins Christian and Jean-François Ott their Étoile Rosé combines the “salinity and moreish character of Clos Mireille the finesse of Château de Selle and the structure of Château Romassan.” Although strictly a Vin de France because it uses components from both Provence and Bandol it’s worth remembering that the Super Tuscans had to break from the prescriptive appellation laws in order to achieve greatness and this is a rosé of that order of magnitude.
The name is a nod to Marcel Ott who established Domaines Ott in the aftermath of phylloxera and used to sign the bottles by forming the double ‘t’ with a little star. And Étoile feels like the shining star that will guide rosé into a new era especially with critical acclaim like that received from Vinous Media. Pale salmon pink in colour it tastes like Provence at its zenith; crunchy peach bright pear sorbet pink grapefruit orange blossom white cherry strawberries and cream explosive pomegranate arils a twist of Himalayan pink salt and mouth-watering freshness. Whatever you serve alongside it the super rare Étoile will be the star of the show but consider fish dishes poached salmon grilled seafood quiche crisp salads or beetroot carpaccio.
Domaines Ott has been the wine of the Riviera for decades and in 2004 came under the stewardship of the Rouzauds – one of the wine world’s most powerful families and owners of Champagne Louis Roederer Champagne Deutz Ramos Pinto Port Maison Delas in the Rhône and Bordeaux’s iconic Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Domaines Ott’s star is very much in the ascendant.
