Chateau Minuty, Minuty 281, Côtes de Provence, France, 2022
${symbol}${ activeVariant.price | money }
Château Minuty is the global leader in Côtes de Provence rosé, and beyond that it can be argued is the most important estate in the history of Provence rosé. The Saint-Tropez based, family owned estate has been, since its founding, one of the quality leaders for the region.
This cuvée, created in 2015, is the latest Minuty rosé. Why 281? A nod to the blue Pantone number used to decorate the bottle. This intense blue pays homage to the Mediterranean Sea, whose proximity influences and optimizes the quality of Minuty's vineyards every day. 281 is also inspired by the visionary and revolutionary ambition of Etienne Matton, father of Jean-Etienne and François. Back in the 70s, he created a selection of Grenache clones exclusive to the estate, from which the best parcels reserved for Cuvée 281 are grown today. This rosé pays tribute to the family heritage and the Minuty terroir.
The color is distinguished by its crystalline brilliance. The nose, of great finesse, reveals subtle aromas of citrus and exotic fruits, underlined by a floral touch. The palate, structured, lively and elegant, presents floral and tangy notes. The terroir is revealed through a remarkable salinity and minerality, offering an exceptional length in the mouth.
