Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Château Minuty 281 Côtes de Provence Rosé—the flagship cuvée named after its iconic royal blue Pantone bottle design—pours an elegant, pale pink with translucent reflections. The nose is incredibly intense and complex, opening with an explosion of white-fleshed fruits, vine peach, and melon, alongside tropical hints of mango and a touch of white pepper spice. On the palate, this vintage offers a rounded, full-bodied structure that perfectly balances red fruit density with a beautifully perfumed acidity. Airy yet deeply layered, it flows into a characteristically long, persistent finish marked by a distinct ocean-influenced iodine and saline minerality, cementing its status as a sophisticated, gastronomic rosé built for high-end seafood pairings.
Winery History
Château Minuty was founded in 1936 by Gabriel Farnet in Gassin, on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, and quickly became one of Provence’s most respected rosé producers. In 1955, it was awarded the prestigious Cru Classé des Côtes de Provence designation, a recognition given to only 23 estates. The winery has remained family-run, with the Farnet-Matton family continuing its legacy of hand-harvesting and sustainable viticulture. Over the decades, Minuty built a reputation for crafting elegant, sun-soaked rosés that embody the Mediterranean lifestyle, and in 2023, luxury group LVMH acquired a majority stake, further elevating Minuty’s global profile as a benchmark for premium Provençal rosé.
