With 160 hectares of vineyards covering the Saint-Tropez peninsula, Château Minuty have become a household name in the AOP Côtes de Provence, helping define this category of rosé. First constructed under the reign of Napoleon III, the estate was purchased by Gabriel Farnet in 1936. The estate has remained in the Matton-Farnet family ever since, with the third generation managing it.
The purchase of the Château by Gabriel marked a turning point in the history of the winery, which had declined from its glory days in the mid-1800s. Gabriel undertook the project of restoring the estate to its former splendour and was a major driving force in its inclusion in the small circle of 23 Classified Growths when the AOP Côtes de Provence classification was created in 1955. It was not, however, until Gabriel's daughter, Monique, and her husband, Etienne Matton, took over the estate in the 1960s that Château Minuty became a staple on the tables of the finest restaurants on the French Riviera. Today, brothers Jean-Etienne and François Matton are proudly upholding the family legacy while bringing a contemporary touch to the estate. The brothers' focus on sustainable viniculture practices has been recognised with the attainment of HEV (High Environmental Value) certification.
The Rosé et Or is made from hand-picked Grenache (80%), Cinsault (10%), Syrah (5%) and Rolle (5%) grapes planted across all three of the château’s terroirs (schist, clay and sand). The Château plants the different varietals on each terroir that suits it best, allowing the vines to flourish. Situated on the slopes of Gassin and Ramatuelle, the vines benefit from even exposure. At the same time, the sea breeze from the Mediterranean Ocean moderates the high temperatures, preserving the health of the grapes. To ensure consistent quality of the grapes, a mass selection is carried out among a collection of the 30-year-old Grenache vines.
The grapes from each of the three distinct terroirs are vinified separately, allowing for an optimal expression of each varietal's unique characteristics before blending. The grapes undergo cold pressing, and the free-run juice is cold-fermented. The wine undergoes no oak ageing or malolactic fermentation to preserve its freshness and precise aromatics. The resulting product is an exceptional, delicate rosé with enticing aromas of orange peel and jasmine. The palate is complex and expressive, carrying through the aromas along with notes of grapefruit and white stone fruit, the signature saline finish associated with great expressions of the AOP Côtes de Provence.
The exceptional quality of the Château Minuty 281 Rosé has garnered recognition among critics, with the 2023 vintage earning a 92 score from Decanter, which praises its aromatic profile and silky mouthfeel.
