2016 Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Rose

Description

A bright personality, this wine is a reflection of its terroir on the coast facing the Mediterranean, a land of schists completely free of limestone. Working with the ocean spray, the dry hillside air and generous sunshine, the salty soil helps shape the singular, elegant character of a young vineyard with a passionate heart.

Rosé Cœur de Grain is an expression of a blend of three grapes typical of the Côtes de Provence appellation: Grenache, the majority grape, chosen for its full-bodied texture, Cinsault for its well-known softness and Syrah for its fruity roundness.

With its clear, pale peach hue and copper tints, this wine reveals delicate fruity aromas of apricot, white peach and mimosa underpinned by spicy notes of cardamom and vanilla. The palate offers a fresh, zesty attack and a rich, round mid-palate dominated by aromas of ripe fruit. Notes of candied citrus fruit and white pepper linger on the invigorating finish. –Domaines Ott website
