ABOUT THIS WINE
In a region famous almost exclusively for rosé, Rouge et Or represents Château Minuty's commitment to producing serious, gastronomic Provencal red wines. Acquired by Gabriel Farnet in 1936 and designated a Cru Classé Côtes de Provence in 1955, Château Minuty is located in Gassin on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Managed by the Matton family in partnership with Moët Hennessy, the estate leverages selected plots planted on crystalline mica-schist and clay soils to showcase the potential of coastal Mourvèdre.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-harvested from certified High Environmental Value (HVE) vineyards, grapes undergo strict temperature control during alcoholic fermentation to preserve fruit aromas. Full malolactic fermentation is carried out in oak barrels, followed by aging for slightly under one year in French oak barrels, incorporating a proportion of new oak.
