Rose et Or 2020, Chateau Minuty, Gassin, Cotes de Provence, 6x750ml
Chateau Minuty was purchased in the 1930s by the Matton-Farnet family, who immediately replanted the vineyards with a focus on local varieties, farmed harshly, in order to produce low yields. By the mid-1960s their quality-led approach had paid off, and the wines were regularly found on the wine lists of all the finest establishments in the Cote d’Azur. In 1995, a negociant arm was set up, working with local growers to increase the range of wines produced under the Chateau Minuty label. The different price points allowed the wines to reach even more tables, further cementing their position as one of the original and best, pioneers of the delicate, elegant style of Rose, long before the recent explosion in its popularity.
Having picked up countless awards over the years, the Rose et Or 2020 is a wonderfully expressive and vibrant rose, with zesty citrus and jasmine aromas on the nose and an intense freshness on the palate, with subtle notes of melon, pink grapefruit and white peach. Produced from around 95% Grenache from 30-year old vines and 5% Syrah from 20-year old vines, the grapes all come from the oldest of the Chateau’s coastal vineyards, based mainly on mica-schist soils and with perfect south-western exposure and cooling maritime influence. Everything is hand-harvested, and the grapes are pressed gently in a pneumatic press. Juice is left on the skins only briefly, in order to produce the most pale pink wine possible. There is no malolactic fermentation and the wine does not see any oak – quite right too, as the structure is just perfect without either!
