Domaines Ott Etoile Rose

“This is a great wine for the future and for sharing, which connects us to our terroirs and tells our story”. Jean-François Ott

Étoile offers a very different expression of the Ott⋆ vineyards. It is a very unusual wine and the only one capable of expressing the richness and diversity of our vineyards as a whole. It is an author’s wine, stepping outside the official appellations, the fruit of the free-thinking of a wine artisan.

James Suckling 94: This is a delicate and balanced rosé with subtle notes of peaches and wild strawberries and touches of seashells, crushed stone and dried Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied, sleek and polished, with freshness and excellent poise. Classy, elegant, pristine and almost weightless, yet it holds a lot of depth and mineral complexity that unveils toward its long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinous 95: 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 flavors 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. - Josh Raynolds
