June: It is officially the most wonderful time of the year: rosé season, and this Summer Château Minuty – the leading Provence rosé in St Tropez – will guarantee to transport you to French Riviera with just one sip of their flagship cuvées the Minuty 281, Minuty Rose Et Or and Minuty Prestige. The perfect accompaniment to the beautiful sunshine is a crisp glass of Provence rosé; it encapsulates the luxury and glamour associated with the French Riviera and allows you to sit back and absorb every joyous minute of Summer.
With many of us unable to travel this year, Château Minuty rosé will ensure to fill that void and conjure scenes of the crystal blue seas, salty skin from the sun-soaked beaches of South of France and dining alfresco accompanied by a gentle sea breeze. It is also the perfect drink to compliment any garden party, dining experience with loved ones or picnic in the park.
Château Minuty rosé is summer in a glass. Minuty 281 provides intense notes of peach that are perfectly complemented by the crisp and refreshing flavours of melon. The grapes – which are all harvested by hand – come from a clonal selection of the estate’s finest Grenache vines. They are planted in twenty-five-year-old coastal vineyards, which are sustainably farmed.
Minuty Rose Et Or is incredibly refreshing and light and extracts intense aromas of orange peel and jasmine that is accompanied by the zest and crisp flavours of pink grapefruit and white stone fruit. The grapes come from the oldest of the estate’s own coastal vineyards.
Minuty Prestige offers fresh aromas of citrus that are elegantly elevated by notes of white blossom and red berries. The grapes come from a mixture of the estate’s own vineyards, alongside a rigorously sourced selection from their partners’ best vineyards in the Côtes de Provence.
Beautifully situated in a Provençal village called Gassin, Château Minuty is a family-owned estate that has belonged to the Matton-Farnet family for over eighty years, spanning three generations. With over 160 hectares of owned vineyards in the heart of Provence, overlooking the iconic bay of St Tropez, Château Minuty is one of the few estates to be certified ‘Cru Classé’ in the Côtes de Provence appellations. Sustainable farming practices and the combination of an historical savoir-faire and advanced technology ensures the wine’s continued quality.
Samuel Le Douarin, Minuty UK Brand Ambassador comments: “We are very excited that the UK hospitality is steadily re-opening, and we think the perfect way to enjoy the sunshine is with our new 2020 vintages of, 281, Rose et Or and Prestige. We hope you will enjoy the freshness of our flagship cuvées, the notes of melon and peach from the 281, minerality of Prestige and the pink grapefruit and jasmine aromas of Rose et Or. We are looking forward to meeting you soon, in the UK or in Saint-Tropez to give you a chance to discover our family estate and to experience the true essence of the French Riviera.”
