Chateau Minuty 2021 Rose et Or

Description

The Matton-Farnets have been in the wine industry for almost three centuries, beginning at the Domaine de Chateauneuf in Vidauban, and continuing at Chteau Minuty from 1936 where Gabriel Farnet, the grandfather of Franois and Jean-Etienne, the current owners, set up. Gabriel Farnet replanted the entire wine estate and returned Chteau Minuty to its former glory. It was built under Napoleon III, as was the small chapel that the cuvee de lOratoire takes its name from and which was the estates flagship bottle for a long time. The most prestigious hotels on the Cte dAzur still have its fat Burgundian-shaped bottles. In 1955 Chteau Minuty was one of 23 estates to be consecrated as a classed growth of the Ctes de Provence.Today Jean-Etienne and Franois Matton have taken over and continue to improve Minuty. They have put their stamp on it by restructuring the vineyards and replacing the Carignan and Ugni Blanc with Grenache and Rolle, and by streamlining the winery with modern, up to date efficient equipment. By giving Minuty a more international direction, ensuring listings at the best tables around the world and by developing the wine tasting facilities, Jean-Etienne and Franois Matton strive on a daily basis to increase Minutys reputation. A big project to renovate the cellar has been undertaken.

Tasting Notes

This vintage is all about elegance; the aromas of sun-drenched and freshly-picked ripe fruit ranging from vine peach and pear to melon. Its full and crisp on the palate, powerful yet pure like flavored spring water.
