Terroir & Winemaking

Produced from certified organic, hand-harvested grapes grown across 8 communes of the Bandol AOC on limestone, sandstone, and marl soils rich in gravel. The blend of roughly 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Cinsault, and 20% Grenache is gently pressed and fermented with low yields and meticulous, minimal-intervention winemaking, in keeping with Domaines Ott's philosophy of sustainable, biodynamic-inspired viticulture since 1896.
