The freshness and aromatic purity of a rosé wine from the Côtes de Provence

The property

Built under the reign of Napoleon III, Château Minuty was purchased in 1936 by Gabriel Farnet who undertook to restore its former splendor. Thus, in 1955, the property entered the small circle of the 23 Classified Growths among the wines of the Côtes de Provence. Then, the property crossed paths with Monique and Etienne Matton who, thanks to their dedicated work, greatly contributed to establishing the reputation of Château Minuty on the finest tables of the French Riviera. Today, brothers Jean-Etienne and François Matton are proudly carrying on the legacy while infusing the estate with a modern spirit.

The vineyard

At the origin of great wines from the Côtes de Provence, the 160 hectares of vineyards of Château Minuty cover the Saint-Tropez peninsula. On the slopes of Gassin and Ramatuelle, the vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate. The sea breezes coming from the coast preserve the health of the grapes throughout the year. The soils are varied between shale and limestone which allows the cultivation of the different grape varieties of the house where they flourish best. Cultivated using sustainable viticulture, the vines are cared for in a preserved environment and a rich ecosystem. To ensure optimal and constant quality, a mass selection is carried out among a collection of grenache aged 30 years on average. In addition, a parcel selection of the three major terroirs of the Property presides over this cuvée.

The wine

This cuvée created in 2015 is titled 281 in reference to the number of the blue Pantone used for the design of the bottle. This intense color pays tribute to the Mediterranean Sea which influences and enhances the Minuty vineyard every year. This rosé wine is made from three emblematic parcels of the property, resting on soils composed of shale, clay and sand.
