Château Minuty:
Nestled between land and sea in the heart of Provençe, Château Minuty has been the wine estate of the Matton-Farnet family for more than 85 years over four generations and has been a Côtes de Provence Classified Growth since 1955.
The vineyard of Château Minuty is remarkably well exposed on the hillsides of the villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle, overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate and gives pride of place to southern grape varieties.
For a wine from the estate, it all starts in the vineyard, in a preserved environment. The Château’s vines are cultivated using sustainable methods, without weedkillers or pesticides, as part of a continuous improvement process to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment.
Château Minuty is one of the last estates in the Côtes de Provence where the grapes are harvested entirely by hand to ensure their perfect integrity. Jean-Etienne and François Matton, who are deeply attached to their land, are at the helm of the operation and have inherited their know-how and expertise from their family.
Minuty M, Blend and origin:
Grapes from all the continental and seafront Côtes de Provence terroirs have gone into crafting this excellent vintage. Grenache (60%), Cinsault (30%) and Syrah (10%) grapes all feature in the final blend. The grapes have all been grown with HEV certification (High Environmental Value) with specific ground cover based on soil type and exposure.
Château Minuty is one of Provence’s last vineyards to hand-pick grapes. This is followed by cold pressing and fermenting—with no malolactic fermentation.
