2024 Domaines Ott Château Romassan Rosé Bandol

VIN94 The 2024 Rosé Château Romassan is a wine of supreme textural finesse and elegance. Beautifully weighted, broad and nearly opulent, yet in no way heavy, the 2024 drapes a blanket of floral-inflected orchard fruit across the tongue, coating every corner of the mouth through the long, focused finish. Rosewater, orange confit and a tickle of sea salt last well after the wine has exited the stage. This is such an intentional Rosé made with the highest level of craftsmanship. I wouldn’t hesitate to age this Bandol for a few years to allow even further complexity to develop. Bravo.
Estate Notes: Peach-colored hue with a dash of copper. An enveloping nose, blending citrus and passion fruit with beautiful aromatic intensity. Full and round palate, carried by the freshness of mandarin and enhanced by a subtle touch of Sichuan red pepper. Rich and persistent finish, highlighted by notes of pomelo pith. 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Cinsault, 20% Grenache.
