Gabriel Farnet purchased Château Minuty in 1936 and set about restoring it to its former splendour. In 1955, Château Minuty became one of 23 wineries to be classified as the distinguished Cru Classé des Côtes de Provence.
His father, Etienne Matton, who was for many years the president of the Classified Growths, replanted traditional Provençal grape varietals with limited yields, striving for the highest quality of vinification and secured the reputation of Château Minuty in the greatest restaurants of the French Riviera.

M de Minuty Rosé
Origin: Côtes de Provence, France
Vines are in double guyot with 2 arms inclined to 30 degrees with 2 eyes on every arm. Trellising in 2 dimensions in 1.70 m height. The manual disbudding helps to quantify the harvest by avoiding any green grape harvest. During the phytosanitary treatments, they don't use any systemic product.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually at their technical maturity and then crushed and de-stemmed. They then undergo a short maceration from 3 to 4 hours before pressing. This is then allowed to settle overnight at 15°C (59°F). Alcoholic fermentation at 16°C (60.80°F) in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromas. Malolactic fermentation blocked by sulphating. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks at 15°C (59°F) with Light filtration before bottling. Stores in air-conditioned cellars

Winemaker's Notes
A magnificent wine of pleasure, the aromatic harmony of Grenache and Cinsault offers some notes of peach and candied orange. The mouth is fresh and round.
