Region

The appellation of Côtes de Provence covers a wide swathe of land from Aix east to Cannes. Although much of the production is of dry rosé wine made from Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it does also cover red and white wines. Provence has a warm Mediterranean climate with adequate rainfall and the cold Mistral wind provides cooling influence but the best sites are usually sheltered.

Producer

Nestled between land and sea in the heart of Provence, Château Minuty has been the wine estate of the Matton-Farnet family for more than 85 years over four generations and has been a Côtes de Provence Classified Growth since 1955. The vineyard of Château Minuty is remarkably well exposed on the hillsides of the villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle, overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate and gives pride of place to southern grape varieties. Chateau Minuty is one of the last estates in the Cotes de Provence to harvest entirely by hand to ensure quality. The vines are all cultivated using sustainable methods without the use of weedkillers or pesticides to protect their soil and the environment.
Tasting Notes
Minuty M de Minuty rosé wine is a Grenache dominated blend and is a lovely soft rose. Beautiful pale pink in colour, with aromas of redcurrants giving way to a fresh, yet well-rounded palate offering delicate flavours of peaches and candied orange peel. This is an iconic Provence Rosé situated in an exceptional location on the Saint-Tropez Peninsula.
