With 160 hectares of vineyards covering the Saint-Tropez peninsula, Château Minuty have become a household name in the AOP Côtes de Provence, helping define this category of rosé. First constructed under the reign of Napoleon III, the estate was purchased by Gabriel Farnet in 1936. The estate has remained in the Matton-Farnet family ever since, with the third generation managing it.
The purchase of the Château by Gabriel marked a turning point in the history of the winery, which had declined from its glory days in the mid-1800s. Gabriel undertook the project of restoring the estate to its former splendour and was a major driving force in its inclusion in the small circle of 23 Classified Growths when the AOP Côtes de Provence classification was created in 1955. It was not, however, until Gabriel's daughter, Monique, and her husband, Etienne Matton, took over the estate in the 1960s that Château Minuty became a staple on the tables of the finest restaurants on the French Riviera. Today, brothers Jean-Etienne and François Matton are proudly upholding the family legacy while bringing a contemporary touch to the estate. The brothers' focus on sustainable viniculture practices has been recognised with the attainment of HEV (High Environmental Value) certification.
The 281 Rosé is the top cuvée from Château Minuty, made from the best grapes from the oldest parcels of the estate covering the three main terroirs of the estate (schist, clay and sand). The Château plants the different varietals on each terroir that suits it best, allowing the vines to flourish. Situated on the slopes of Gassin and Ramatuelle, the vines benefit from even exposure. At the same time, the sea breeze from the Mediterranean Ocean moderates the high temperatures, preserving the health of the grapes. To ensure the consistent quality of the grapes, a mass selection is carried out among a collection of 30-year-old Grenache vines.
The best grapes from each of the three distinct terroirs are vinified separately, allowing for an optimal expression of each varietal's unique characteristics before they are blended. The grapes undergo direct pressing and cold fermentation, and the wine is bottled without oak to maintain its freshness and precise aromatics. The resulting product is an exceptional, delicate rosé with enticing aromas of white-fleshed fruit that open up and expand as the minutes pass. The palate is complex and expressive, carrying through the aromas with a delicate iodine note and a fresh saline finish.
The exceptional quality of the Château Minuty 281 Rosé has garnered recognition among critics, with the 2024 vintage earning a 93 score from Antonio Galloni and a 92 score in the London Wine Competition 2025, respectively.
