The colour is a bright pale pink flecked with silver. The nose is enveloping, mineral and dominated by citrus fruit and enriched by aromas of mango, white peach, raspberry and roasted almonds. The palate shows a remarkable continuity. Very intense, it takes on breadth with grapefruit zest and empyreumatic notes and ends with a very long, mouth-watering finish and a touch of liquorice.
The wine as a crystal-clear appearance tinged with pink mother-of-pearl. The captivating first nose is suggestive of grapefruit and vanilla. It then opens up with a lovely lemony and mineral freshness and an explosion of citrus and exotic fruit aromas. The complex ensemble is lifted by touches of wild peach, raspberries and mimosa. The wine is silky, luscious and tangy on entry to the palate, then becomes fuller, fatter and rounder with hints of mango and passion fruit. Its freshness, underpinned by the zesty character of lime and mandarin peel, leads to a saline finish with a subtle peppery persistence.
Driven by a winegrower's vision, Étoile is born from a free composition, the union of the best of our three estates in Provence. An artisan cuvée that's an open invitation to take your time and savour every moment.The fruit is explosive, honest, bright and true to the Ott signature style yet it also takes its aromatic depth further with its exquisite body and mouthfeel. The subtle signs of ageing integrate smoothly into the intensity of the fruit, with its fresh, crunchy notes, subtle salinity and perfect balance. Richness and power merge and take on a new dimension, united in a newfound intensity, freshness and seductive opulence.

In 1896 Marcel Ott, a young graduate in agronomy engineering from Alsace, found an estate in Provence that inspired him to grow wine. Today, more than 120 years later, cousins Christian and Jean-François Ott dedicate their lives to their ancestor’s love for the site. The three estates: Château de Selle, Clos Mireille and Château Romassan, each have their own individual charm and personality. Domaine Ott estates are cultivated in a way that fully respects nature; the soil is nurtured without chemicals or intensive production techniques, using only organic fertilisers. In 2004 Champagne house Louis Roederer bought a controlling share in Domaine Ott.

The story behind the bottle shape

In the late 19th century, the wines of Provence were distributed in bulk and served in carafes. Marcel Ott, as a pioneer in Provence, had the idea to create a bottle “La Provençale" symbolising the wines of Provence. Originally his project concerned all the producers in the region but, faced with the cost and complexity of creating such a bottle, no one followed him. In the 1930s, Marcel Ott asked his son René to make a bottle for the Château de Selle. He invented a slender, fleshy and feminine form inspired by the Roman amphora. The model is registered and has become the signature of Domaines Ott.

“Three Estates, two appellations, one passion for wine.”
