ABOUT THIS WINE
Minuty Prestige by Château Minuty is an AOP Côtes de Provence rosé from the Saint-Tropez peninsula in France. The wine is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Rolle, produced by the historic Matton-Farnet family, who have owned the estate for generations and were recognized with a Grand Cru classification in 1955. The estate's vineyards benefit from schist soils and a Mediterranean climate. The Prestige range, established over 25 years ago, aims to capture the quintessential spirit of Provence. In 2023, LVMH acquired a majority stake in Château Minuty. The 2024 vintage was influenced by a mild growing season, leading to a wine described as having excellent tension and freshness.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Minuty Prestige rosé is crafted using a meticulous winemaking process designed to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Grapes are gently pressed to obtain the finest free-run juice, and fermentation occurs at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to safeguard delicate aromas. Malolactic fermentation is intentionally avoided to maintain the wine's crisp character. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel, ensuring its bright, clean, and airy profile remains uncompromised. The 2024 harvest was noted for its early start on August 14th, with grapes hand-selected for quality.
