Domaines Ott Chateau De Selle Cru Classe Rosé 2024

(55% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 12% Mourvèdre, 3% Syrah)

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The 2024 Rosé Château de Selle is the brightest and most mineral-driven of the three estate Rosés from Ott. Vibrant and utterly refreshing, the 2024 smells like the sea, levitating from the glass with a briny, herbaceous, maritime-influenced bouquet highlighted by spikes of fresh jasmine and orange peel. The 2024 splashes across the palate with soft curves and palpable grip. Balance? You bet. This is a match made in heaven for freshly shucked oysters.” - 92 PTS, BILLY NORRIS, VINOUS MEDIA (05/2025)

"A silky, streaming rosé, with hidden density behind its savory notes of salty lime, pink grapefruit and herbs. Offers loads of verve and poise before giving way to talc-fine mineral elements and a refined beam of acidity. Classy and delicious. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2028. 4,463 cases imported." - 91 PTS, WINE SPECTATOR (08/2025)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Château de Selle Rosé is a blend of the Côtes de Provence AOC grape varieties, with a majority of Grenache, which gives the wine great balance. The Cinsault adds softness, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre bring fruit and structure.”

VINTAGE: “Spring was mild and rainy but was not excessively wet followed by a hot dry summer with cool nights. Gradual and even ripening, resulted in healthy, good acidity, providing us with greater elegance and ageing potential in our wines.”

TASTING: “Brilliant and luminous pale pink sand. A complex and elegant nose, marked by notes of white peach with a beautiful aromatic depth. A well-balanced palate with roundness and freshness. The soft attack gradually gains in intensity and reveals a mosaic of summer fruits and a fine minerality. The finish is saline, zesty and persistent.”
