Domaines Ott is and always has been a family-owned business. The Ott family themselves are still involved, from foundation in 1912 to the present day. Since 2004 the business has been in the more than capable hands of the family behind Champagne Louis Roederer and together they have made Domaines Ott into arguably Provence`s finest and certainly most iconic rosé producer. They make intense yet very pale rosés and use only natural fertilisers, strict controls on yield and very little use of chemicals in the vineyards. At both Clos Mireille and Chateau Romassan the estates are in close proximity to the Mediterranean; providing more light and temperate climate for the sun-drenched fruit. (CW 15/05/19)
