Description

Rosé from a coastal Provençal icon. Clos Mireille is the Mediterranean jewel in the Domaines Ott crown—an estate whose roots stretch back to Benedictine monks and whose wines now carry the hallmark of one of Provence’s most storied families. The 2023 Coeur de Grain Rosé is a focused and expressive bottling, drawing on 17-year-old vines rooted in rare limestone-free, schist soils, just metres from the sea.

This is not just any Provence rosé. The Clos Mireille site brings together intense sunlight, maritime salinity, and the mineral edge of clay-schist soils to craft something taut and distinctive. The cuvée blends Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and a hint of Rolle, shifting with each vintage to capture the fullest expression of the terroir.

The Clos Mireille Rosé is an expression of a blend of various 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.

Glistening orange-pink. Vibrant, mineral-accented cherry, peach, and honeydew scents, along with orange pith and floral nuances. Stains the palate with juicy red berry, citrus fruit and lavender flavors that show very good depth as well as liveliness. Shows firm tension and dusty mineral character on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves melon and blood orange notes behind.
