The purity and freshness of a rosé from Côtes de Provence

The property

Built under 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 among the wines of 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

The 160 hectares of vineyards of the Minuty estate cover the Saint-Tropez peninsula. On the slopes of Gassin and Ramatuelle, this vineyard of the Côtes de Provence benefits from a Mediterranean climate. The sea breezes from the coast preserve the health of the grapes throughout the year. The diversity of soils, mixing schists and limestones, offers each grape variety of the House an ideal terroir to fully flourish. The vines are cultivated according to the principles of sustainable viticulture, in a preserved environment where the richness of the ecosystem favors their development.

The wine

Since 2018, Minuty entrusts each year the limited edition of this cuvée to an artist, who reinterprets the label through his universe.

This 2024 edition was created by the contemporary Australian artist, Elliott Routledge. Known for his vibrant and abstract works, he mixes colors, patterns, and textures. For this limited edition of the M bottle of Minuty Rosé, he draws inspiration from the iconic landscapes of the Saint-Tropez Peninsula. His illustration captures the essence of the French Riviera, where the omnipresent blue reflects the luminous energy of the region.
