2022 Domaine Ott - Cotes de Provence Rose Chateau de Selle

This cuvée, all about elegance and refinement -partially aged in fine-grained acacia barrels, is a tribute to the countesses of the family who have almost exclusively run the estate, since 1740, from mother to daughter. The oak aging makes this wine extra silky! A blend of grenache, syrah and tibouren.
