More Info:
Château Minuty is a global leader and a benchmark for Provence rosé, a
reputation built on a history of quality and commercial foresight. The
family-owned estate, founded in 1936 by Gabriel Farnet, was one of only
23 properties recognized as a Classified Growth of the Côtes de Provence
in 1955. Today, under the management of the fourth generation of the
Matton family and the ownership of LVMH, Minuty's influence extends
internationally to over 100 countries. Their vineyards, located on the
hillsides of Gassin and Ramatuelle overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez,
are cultivated using sustainable methods, with an impressive HVE (High
Environmental Value) certification and a commitment to organic farming
since 2023.
"Minuty M is pure Pleasure, pure Provence and pure
Minuty in a bottle." This philosophy, which embodies the winery's style
of intense aromas paired with light flavors, is a direct result of
their meticulous winemaking. The 2024 M Rosé is a classic blend of 60%
Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, and 5% Tibouren, with grapes sourced
from a spectrum of terroirs, from the seafront to the hinterland and
Sainte-Victoire.
The winemaking process is designed to
preserve the integrity and full aromatic potential of the grapes. They
are hand-harvested, immediately cooled, and pressed at low pressure.
Fermentation is long and at a low temperature, with no malolactic
fermentation, to maintain a crisp, fresh character. This careful
process, paired with a sophisticated blending of the year's wines,
results in a cuvée that is an introduction to the quintessential
expression of Provence rosé.
The 2024 Minuty M Rosé offers a
beautiful pale pink color, with a crisp, vibrant bouquet and an
explosion of delicate, straightforward aromas on the nose. Expect notes
of crisp red fruits, such as wild strawberries and raspberries, followed
by the delicacy of peach. The palate is captivating with its freshness
and volume, providing a delightful sense of pleasure. It's a lively and
taut wine, with flavors of juicy strawberries, tart red currants, and
blood oranges, all with a subtle hint of honeysuckle. The finish is long
and precise, leaving you with lingering mineral and red berry notes.
The
Minuty M Rosé is a versatile wine, perfect for any time, any place.
Serve it chilled to cool off and relax on the terrace or by the pool. It
pairs beautifully with any type of appetizer, olives, tapas, and summer
salads like a classic tomato and mozzarella or salade niçoise. It also
enhances seafood, small crustaceans, prawns, and pan-seared starters.
The wine is not recommended for desserts unless they are not sweet at
all.
