Ott Bandol Rosé Château Romassan 2023

94 points La Revue du Vin de France: "With 50% Mourvèdre, this Bandol rosé boasts superior ageing capacity, saltiness and epicurean complexity, making it one of the best of the 2023 vintage. (2025)"

92+ points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2023 Rosé Château Romassan captivates with a bouquet that mixes savory and sweet, as nuances of D'Anjou pear and lime zest combine with spring flowers, ginger and green melon. This is vividly fruit-focused within, with cooling acidity and silken textures, coming across as lifted and refined yet also potent. Its minerality shines through the finish, crisp, nearly crunchy and long with a spicy tinge that pinches at the palate. Complexity and shear depth make the Chateau Romassan impossible to ignore. Drink: 2024-2027. (May 2024)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$65 list] A reminder of Bandol's superiority when it comes to rosé. Crushed stone minerality grounds this fresh, alluring version, with notes of dried lavender and salted herbs alongside mandarin acidity. This well-meshed version sings in harmony from start to vibrant finish. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Drink now through 2028. (8/31/24)"

91 points Elizabeth Gabay, MW (Decanter): "This illustrates just how different the Mourvèdre-based rosés of this coastal appellation can be, in comparison to rosés from the rest of Provence. Delicately pale salmon pink. Restrained aromas of bruised peach, garrigue and barely ripe apricots. The Mourvèdre shines here with concentration, sour lemon acidity and creamy, ripe, sweet black fruit. There is fine-grained minerality leading to linear austerity and a mouthwatering finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2031. (5/31/24)
