Overview:
The Domaines Ott 2019 Château Romassan Bandol Rouge is a masterful expression of the Bandol terroir, crafted with meticulous precision and aged to perfection. Situated at the foot of Le Castellet, Château Romassan benefits from Bandol’s renowned terraced vineyards, where marl and limestone soils provide the ideal foundation for Mourvèdre. The estate’s dual microclimates—offering both freshness from valley-grown grapes and structure from hillside plantings—result in a wine of exceptional depth and balance. Aged for 18 months in French oak and further refined in bottle, this distinguished red embodies the elegance and power that define the finest Bandol wines.

Sun-drenched and structured, this wine unfolds with remarkable complexity, leaving a long, lingering finish that speaks to its age-worthy character. Best enjoyed with robust dishes, it is a true celebration of Bandol’s winemaking heritage.
