Winemaker Notes
Sourced primarily from two Minuty estate vineyards: One in Saint-Tropez influenced by the marine proximity One in Vidauban, more continental and planted to vines with an average age of 25 years.

About Winery
Château Minuty is the global leader in Cotes de Provence rosé, and beyond that it can be argued is the most important estate in the history of Provence rosé. The Saint-Tropez based, family owned estate has been, since its founding, one of the quality leaders for the region. Minuty then became one of the most visible producers in the second half of the 20th century, a result of quality production and commercial foresight when no one in the region could imagine the global phenomenon Provence rosé would become. And then in the last two decades, Minuty defined the vision for and led the unbelievable growth in Provence rosé around the globe.
One of the original 18 classified growths of Provence, Chateau Minuty has always been considered a quality leader for the region. Over decades it became the top selling rosé in its home of the French Riviera, where it abounds in leading beach clubs, restaurants and luxury retailers from Saint-Tropez to Monaco. From the winery, which is half of a mile from the sea, you can actually see the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, dotted with sailboats and yachts. In the second half of the 20th century, Minuty created the elongated “Provencal bottle”, adopted by any number of other estates. If in the last 50 years you sat on the beach in the South of France, glass of rosé in hand, watching the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky play their game until sunset turned everything, yes, pink, you were almost certainly drinking Chateau Minuty.

92 Pts, Wine & Spirit
"At first, this wine’s pineapple-core waxiness dominates its ripe fruit. With some air, though, bitter aperitivo-herb scents lighten it, the flavors coalescing into cherry pit. It’s mouthwatering, and would garner compliments around the pool or at a high-end dinner party."
91 Pts, Vinous
"Shimmering, salmon skin color. Displays vibrant, mineral-inflected strawberry, blood orange and floral scents, along with a spicy white pepper topnote. Taut and linear on the palate, offering vibrant red berry and citrus fruit flavors than slowly unfold with aeration. The firm, nervy finish shows fine definition and hangs on with strong, minerally tenacity."
