In 1896 Marcel Ott of Alsace found an estate that inspired him, Château de Selle in Tarandeau, Provence, where once olives, lavender and mulberries grew. Enjoying a unique microclimate, the wines are delicate and elegant with great depth.
In the 1930s, Marcel Ott fell in love with the ancient Clos Mireille, overlooking the sea at La Londe Les Maures, near Brégançon. The vines soon started producing distinctive yet subtle wines. The Ott family acquired Château Romassan in Bandol in 1956 and following years of terracing, replanting and producing robust, harmonious and long-lived wines.
Cœur de Grain represents wine-making genius, and today the distinctive bottle evokes the memory of the elegant amphora of centuries past. Today, 120 years later, cousins Jean-François and Christian Ott dedicate their lives to their ancestor’s love for Provence.
