Winemaker Notes (WE | 92)
The 2024 Château Minuty Rosé et Or is a refined Provençal rosé with pale coral hues, aromas of citrus, peach, and blossom, and a palate that balances ripe red fruits with minerality and a saline freshness, finishing crisp and elegant.
Winery History
Château Minuty was founded in 1936 by Gabriel Farnet in Gassin, on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, and quickly became one of Provence’s most respected rosé producers. In 1955, it was awarded the prestigious Cru Classé des Côtes de Provence designation, a recognition given to only 23 estates. The winery has remained family-run, with the Farnet-Matton family continuing its legacy of hand-harvesting and sustainable viticulture. Over the decades, Minuty built a reputation for crafting elegant, sun-soaked rosés that embody the Mediterranean lifestyle, and in 2023, luxury group LVMH acquired a majority stake, further elevating Minuty’s global profile as a benchmark for premium Provençal rosé.
