Rosé de Provence 'Prestige' Chateau Minuty 2024
Callmewine's FavouritesThe Rosé "Prestige" from Chateau Minuty is a fresh, light, and delicate rosé made from Grenache, Cinsault, and Tibouren grapes. Thanks to a short maturation in steel containers, it preserves all its fragrance and freshness, expressing a subtle, juicy, and delicious sip, with notes of citrus, melon, white flowers, and pleasant saline hints.
The Rosé de Provence “Prestige” by Chateau Minuty is a step up from the already excellent base rosé, capable of being even more defined and deep. Rosé wines have experienced fluctuating fame in the wine world, but it can be stated with certainty that from liquids once considered frivolous and unremarkable, they are now rightly seen as products with splendid gastronomic versatility and in some cases even particularly deep. If in Italy the highest expression of rosé is probably traceable to Abruzzo, in France Provence holds the national record also thanks to interpretations like those of Chateau Minuty, a winery founded in 1930 in Gassin that today has about 70 hectares of vineyards with Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre, with vineyards also located in Rhône. All wines, from the base to the flagship ones, share a refined and detailed stylistic signature, with peaks of greater complexity reached by the more ambitious liquids.
The rosé “Prestige” is obtained from a typical regional blend, consisting of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Tibouren, from vineyards located in the heart of Provence that overlook the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The best vineyards of the property are harvested by hand and cultivated using organic products and natural fertilizers. In the winery, alcoholic fermentation continues in steel tanks and aging in the same containers, to preserve the freshness and vitality of the liquid.
