“A particularly luscious rosé wine, a testament to a young vineyard with a passionate heart”. Nicolas Maurs, cellar master at Clos Mireille

My Wine Man on Domaines Ott

Few names carry as much weight in Provence as Domaines Ott. Founded in 1896 by Marcel Ott, the estate has spent over a century defining what great Provençal wine looks like — long before rosé became fashionable. Clos Mireille, their coastal white and rosé estate near La Londe-les-Maures, sits just a stone's throw from the Mediterranean, where sea breezes, schist soils, and relentless sunshine conspire to produce wines of remarkable freshness and precision. This is not a lifestyle rosé — it is a serious, terroir-driven wine from one of the appellation's founding families.

Tasting Notes

Behind a golden sandy hue with lovely coppery tints, the 2024 Clos Mireille opens with an intense, fresh nose of citrus zest, white peach, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is invigorating and precise — crisp fruit over a mineral backbone with a subtly persistent, slightly spicy finish that adds both freshness and sapidity. The blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle, and Syrah is perfectly calibrated to the vintage, delivering elegance without sacrificing depth.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a clean, dry finish. This is a rosé built for the table, not just the pool deck. Drink now through 2026. No decanting required — serve well chilled at 8–10°C.

Food Pairing

The crisp minerality and citrus-driven freshness of the Clos Mireille make it a perfect match for Canadian Organic King Salmon from My Meat Man. The wine's zesty acidity and subtle spice complement the rich, buttery texture of this sashimi-grade fillet beautifully — whether served as sashimi, lightly seared with lemon and herbs, or baked en papillote with Provençal aromatics.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HKD $320, the 2024 Clos Mireille punches well above its weight. Domaines Ott rosés regularly command a premium in Hong Kong's fine wine market, and the Clos Mireille — with its coastal terroir and century-old pedigree — represents exceptional value against comparable Provence estates. If you want a rosé that impresses at the dinner table as much as it does on the label, this is it.
