FRANCE | PROVENCE

C hâteau Minuty is the global leader in Cotes de Provence rosé, and beyond that it can be argued is the most important estate in the history of Provence rosé. The Saint- Tropez based, family owned estate has been, since its founding, one of the quality leaders for the region. Minuty then became one of the most visible producers in the second half of the 20th century, a result of quality production and commercial foresight when no one in the region could imagine the global phenomenon Provence rosé would become. Rose et Or encapsulates the Château Minuty Saint-Tropez estate. It speaks of the seaside with its freshness and flavors, and represents the ultimate in what a quality Cotes de Provence rosé can achieve: it’s gentle freshness giving way to concentrated, almost gourmet flavors. It moves from the terrace to the white table cloth like no other. Rose et Or comes exclusively from the original estate vineyard, a half mile from the ocean and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The quality of this location has always been evident, as the estate was one of the original 18 classified growths in Provence. CHÂTEAU MINUTY ROSE ET OR 2021

In addition to the trademark Grenache, which the family have been pioneers in the region for emphasizing, Rose et Or has a small proportion of Cinsault, a native varietal to the South of France known to produce fresh and aromatic rosé wines, as well as Rolle, a white grape adding aromatics, roundness and a lighter color.

“A wine that has plenty of potential with a saline, spice character, red currant and citrus flavors.” - ROGER VOSS, JUNE 2022
