BY.OTT Cotes de Provence Rose 2021
BY.OTT Cotes de Provence Rose 2021 is a 13.5% ABV French rosé from Domaines Ott — the Provence house the Wall Street Journal called the "gold standard of rosé" — built from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grown on the Clos Mireille and Château de Selle estates. Hand-picked and table-sorted, gently whole-bunch pressed with very short maceration and slow-fermented in thermo-regulated stainless vats, the 2021 vintage earned 91 points from Wine Spectator and 88 from James Suckling. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Gold Standard, Bottled for Everyday
Domaines Ott was founded in 1912 by Alsatian agricultural engineer Marcel Ott and is today run by Champagne Louis Roederer — but BY.OTT, launched in 2016, is the house's answer to the drinker who wants that grand-cru pedigree without the grand-cru ceremony. Same estates, same painstaking whole-bunch pressing, a friendlier frame: Wine Spectator found the 2021 "friendly" and "expressive," with white cherry and peach notes lined with wet straw, jasmine, and savory hints. Serve it at 10–12°C next to the rest of our rosé wines and explore more from BY.OTT.
Tasting Notes
Nose: delicate and fruity — white peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango. Palate: fresh and crisp with citrus zest and sweet spices (cinnamon and cardamom); white cherry and peach lined with wet straw, jasmine, and savory hints. Finish: clean and refreshing.
How to Enjoy
Chill to 10–12°C and pour with Provençal fare — bouillabaisse, salade niçoise, grilled vegetables with aioli — or as a golden-hour aperitif on its own. It also pairs beautifully with sushi and light white wines-adjacent fare; find more pairings in our wine collection.
