A lively and precise rosé wine from the Côtes de Provence

The property

Built during the reign of Napoleon III, the 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 of Provence and then crossed paths with Monique and Etienne Matton who, thanks to their dedicated work, have largely 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 from the coast preserve the health of the grapes throughout the year. The soils are varied between shale and limestone which allows the different grape varieties of the house to be grown where they flourish best. Cultivated using sustainable viticulture, the vines are cared for in a preserved environment with a rich ecosystem. To ensure optimal and consistent quality, a mass selection is carried out among a collection of grenache vines averaging 30 years old.

The wine

This cuvée was created over 25 years ago, under the impetus of Jean-Etienne and François Matton, wishing to produce a signature Côtes-de-Provence wine, combining aromatic exuberance and a pure and light aromatic expression. The grapes come from a rigorous selection of Provence terroirs as well as specific plots of the Property.
