Who makes it?

Founded in 1936, Château Minuty is a prestigious family-run estate that has become a global benchmark for luxury Provence rosé. The story began when Gabriel Farnet acquired the 19th-century château and its historic chapel, meticulously replanting the original vineyards to revive the land's potential. By 1955, Minuty’s commitment to quality earned it the elite status of Cru Classé (Classified Growth) of the Côtes de Provence, a distinction held by only 23 properties. Over four generations, from the innovative bottle designs of Monique Matton to the modern international expansion led by Jean-Etienne and François Matton, the family has preserved a deep respect for the land. Today, as part of the LVMH collection, Minuty continues to uphold its legacy of artisanal expertise and Provençal excellence.

How is it made?

The Château Minuty Rose et Or 2024 is an exquisite Estate wine that captures the very essence of the winery’s signature style. To create this cuvée, the winemakers expertly blend grapes from three distinct terroirs—schist, clay, and sand—ensuring a complex and balanced profile. Driven by a commitment to sustainability, the estate holds HEV (High Environmental Value) certification, utilizing handpicked grapes to ensure only the finest fruit reaches the cellar. The production process is defined by precision, using skin-contact maceration and cold-pressed free-run juice to maintain a pale, delicate color. By bypassing malolactic fermentation, the winemakers preserve the vibrant acidity and crispness that define high-quality AOP Côtes de Provence wines.

What does it taste like?

On the nose, Minuty Rose et Or offers a true explosion of fruit, blending finesse with a remarkable purity of aromas. Initial notes of white-fleshed fruits evolve beautifully into rich, exotic scents that reveal themselves as the wine breathes. The palate is captivating and complex, characterized by a distinct salinity—a signature of the Mediterranean terroir—and a refreshing finish. This elegant, full-bodied rosé is a versatile companion for gourmet dining; its delicate body perfectly complements spicy Asian dishes like Pad Thai, fresh seafood such as Madagascan prawns, or a classic bouillabaisse. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a tropical fruit sorbet, Rose et Or is a sophisticated expression of the French Riviera in a bottle.
