Domaines Ott - Chãteau Romassan Rouge - Coeur de Grains - Bandol

Château Romassan is located in the middle of the Bandol district, in the western part of the Var department. The subsoil here consists mainly of marl, sandstone and limestone deposits. This, combined with the area's very special climate with lots of sun and heat, but also cool winds from the Mediterranean, provides favorable conditions for winegrowing. Today, there are 70 hectares of vineyards at Château Romassan, with Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. The grapes for this wine – Mourvèdre (85-90%) and Syrah – are hand-picked and undergo a double selection, partly when they are picked and partly when they arrive at the cellar. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to large wooden barrels, where it matures for 18-20 months.

Mourvèdre gives the wine its spicy and wild character in the aroma, with nuances of wild cherries and blackcurrants, and a nice structure in the taste. The very aromatic, spicy notes come from the Syrah grape, which also strengthens the nerve in the wine and gives it nice notes of licorice in the end. A very harmonious wine.

Serve the red Château Romassan with grilled beef, roasted game, leg of lamb and strong, firm cheeses.
