MINUTY M DE MINUTY 2021
“It feels substantive from the get-go, its core of dark flavor distant at first, slowly coming into focus along its structured length. With air, stemmy savor gives complexity to the cherry notes. The wine is airy and open, though, a faint sweetness making it all the more quaffable — that expansiveness brought my mind to a patisserie window, electric-red macerated berries perched atop puffy layers of pastry dough."

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. M de Minuty comes entirely from hand harvested grapes grown in the Cotes de Provence, making it perhaps the only major regional wine that is still hand harvested. The source for the majority of the wine is from partners in the highest quality Cotes de Provence vineyards. Minuty’s original estate vineyard in Saint Tropez, and their estate one hour north in the hills of Vidauban also contribute fruit. M LIMITED EDITION As a way to honor its international presence, Minuty partners with different global artists each year to capture the essence of the vintage and to celebrate the St. Tropez lifestyle on the M de Minuty bottle. Visual and tattoo artist Léa Mati, a Paris native, was chosen to dream up this year’s iconic “Bouteille Provençale,” and did so using her signature abstract illustrations of faces, stars and waveforms. The theme of this design, titled “À La Mer,” or “To The Sea,” was inspired by the picturesque Mediterranean setting of Château Minuty at the heart of the Saint-Tropez Peninsula.
