Drink it now or cellar for up to 3 years. No need to decant. Founded by Gabriel Farnet in 1936, Château Minuty is located on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, in Gassin, in the heart of French Provence. A long winemaking tradition combines with high-level craftsmanship and great respect for nature and the vineyards, to produce prestigious rosé, white, and red wines. The estate extends over approximately 200 hectares, enjoying a privileged location between land and sea. The company is part of the LVMH luxury group. Château Minuty Rosé et Or is a delicious blend of mostly Grenache, with smaller percentages of Cinsault, Syrah, and Rolle from vineyards located in the Côtes de Provence AOP on diverse soils of schist, clay, and sand. After manual harvesting and cold fermentation, the wine is bottled without malolactic fermentation. The result is a youthful, fresh, and vibrant wine, with an intense and exuberant aromatic profile that reveals fragrant notes of exotic and stone fruit and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it is exceptionally crisp, juicy, and fresh, with a smooth texture and an intriguing saline note. The acidity is well-integrated, and the finish is long and satisfying. It is extraordinarily versatile with food. Try it with shrimp or shellfish, bouillabaisse, pad thai, prosciutto and melon, or a caprese salad.
