Minuty : Prestige 2025

Tasting characteristics and advice for Minuty’s Prestige 2025

Tasting

Color

Brilliantly clear, the wine shows a pale hue with very delicate pink highlights.

Nose

Expressive and pure, the nose opens on floral notes alongside yellow-fleshed fruit aromas, reminiscent of apricot and peach.

Palate

On the palate, the wine reveals lovely tension, carried by pronounced saline minerality and a lingering finish.

Food and wine pairings

This rosé is an ideal match for a seafood platter of oysters, whelks and clams. It also pairs beautifully with ceviche, sushi, California rolls or grilled fish. For a Mediterranean touch, opt for veal Milanese, pasta with clams, petits farcis provençaux or a vegetable tian.

Serving and cellaring

Prestige 2025 is ideally enjoyed at a temperature between 8 and 10°C. This wine can be enjoyed through around 2027.

The estate

Built during the reign of Napoleon III, Château Minuty was purchased in 1936 by Gabriel Farnet, who set out to restore it to its former glory. In 1955, the estate thus joined the select circle of 23 Crus Classés among the wines of the Côtes de Provence. The property then crossed paths with Monique and Etienne Matton who, thanks to their devoted work, greatly helped establish Château Minuty’s reputation on the finest tables of the French Riviera. Today, brothers Jean-Etienne and François Matton carry on the legacy with distinction while instilling a modern spirit into the estate.

The vineyard

Prestige 2025 comes from a selection of the finest terroirs in the Côtes de Provence appellation. The estate enjoys a privileged location in Gassin, where the vines thrive in a preserved environment. The property practices sustainable viticulture without herbicides or pesticides, and continues the tradition of hand harvesting, remaining among the last estates in Côtes de Provence to uphold this demanding practice.

Winemaking and ageing

The making of Prestige 2025 is based on a rigorous selection of juices, followed by gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation. No malolactic fermentation is carried out in order to preserve the wine’s freshness and vibrancy.

Grape varieties

Grenache (70%), Syrah (15%), Rolle (10%), Cinsault (5%).
