Rosé de Provence 'M de Minuty' Chateau Minuty 2024

The Rosé de Provence “M de Minuty” from Chateau Minuty is a joyful and carefree rosé, characterized by its compulsive drinkability. Provence is not only known for its beautiful seaside locations but also for its rosé wines, which have become famous worldwide. The risk one runs, given the vast production range, is to have a large number of impersonal wines that confirm the ideal of the 80s-90s, that is, the Provençal rosé to be drunk only ice-cold on the beach. It is wineries like Chateau Minuty, founded in 1930 in Gassin, that have breathed new life into regional production, paving the way for quality viticulture, based on respect for the vineyard and the surrounding environment. The wines produced reflect the meticulous care of the winery and are among the regional benchmarks.

The “M de Minuty” rosé is made from a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah, sourced from particularly suited vineyards located in Provence that are cultivated without the use of herbicides or pesticides and with extremely limited yields to prioritize fruit quality. The manual harvest allows for the selection of the best available bunches, while in the winery, a brief maceration of a few hours on the skins is followed by alcoholic fermentation carried out in steel tanks and aging in the same containers.

The “M de Minuty” Rosé de Provence presents itself in the glass with a delicate yet vibrant pink hue. Fresh and inviting nose, also quite luscious, with notes of peach blossoms, orange peel, salty breezes, and white pepper that blend together to outline a direct and engaging profile. The sip is slim and juicy, truly irresistible, especially when paired with fish in all its forms. And it feels like summer right away.
