“Enticing, fresh and generous, this rosé wine combines our winegrowing savoir-faire with the vibrant essence of Provence.” Jean-François Ott

My Wine Man on Domaines Ott

Few names in Provence carry the weight of Domaines Ott. Founded in 1896 by Marcel Ott, the estate has spent over a century setting the benchmark for what great Provençal wine looks like — long before rosé became a global phenomenon. The By Ott label is their expression of the appellation at its most accessible: grown organically, blending fruit from their own estate vineyards with carefully selected partner growers, and vinified with the same precision that defines every wine in the Ott portfolio. This is Provence rosé done properly — fresh, generous, and unmistakably of its place.

Tasting Notes

Bright and expressive on the nose, the 2025 By Ott opens with yellow fruit — peach, apricot — and a subtle exotic touch. On the palate, the Grenache delivers texture and generous fruitiness, the Cinsault brings lift and freshness, while Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Rolle add depth and length. The finish is delicately tangy, with a mineral freshness that keeps everything lively and clean. A beautifully balanced, crowd-pleasing rosé with genuine character.

Style & Drinking Window

Light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and a clean, dry finish. Drink now through 2026. No decanting required — serve well chilled at 8–10°C.

Food Pairing

The fresh minerality and generous fruit of the By Ott make it a natural match for Canadian Frozen Wild King Salmon Fillet from My Meat Man. The wine's bright acidity and subtle exotic fruit complement the clean, lean character of wild king salmon beautifully — whether pan-seared with capers and lemon butter, grilled over charcoal, or served simply as a tartare.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HKD $219, the 2025 By Ott is one of the most compelling entry points into the Domaines Ott range. You get the full pedigree — organic farming, estate fruit, the Ott winemaking team — at a price that makes it equally at home at a weeknight dinner or a summer gathering. Comparable organic Provence rosés from lesser estates regularly fetch more. This is the smart pour.
