2023 Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Blanc

95 POINTS: This coastal vineyard near La Londe-les-Maures has long been highly regarded for its white wines, with Semillon taking a starring role and the schist soils and maritime climate reputedly lending a saline minerality to the wines. 70% Semillon, 30% Rolle, aged for four to six months using wooden foudres with regular batonnage to help impart fat and length to the palate and stabilise the acidity and colour. The final blend is determined in December following the vintage, then clarification using bentonite clay and bottling is carried out from the February. Fresh lemons. Creamy, salty, intense and mouthwatering. Lifted by some pretty blue florals and waxy white blossom.
