CHATEAU MINUTY ROSÉ ET OR

by CHÂTEAU MINUTY

WINES

This vintage is an estate wine. It first appeared in 2009 as the makers wanted to take the winery’s signature
subtle flavour and intense aromas to the next level. To make the dream a reality,
the winery’s three main terroirs were expertly blended to capture
the Château Minuty flavour in Rose et Or.

THE ROSE ET OR METHOD
Hand-picked grapes all from the winery. HEV certification
(High Environmental Value) covering the entire winery
since 2019 (160ha). Tangible proof of the winery’s tireless
work on a sustainable and quality process. Plot growth
with specific ground cover subject to soil type. The grapes
are hand-picked when they are perfectly ripe and come
from three terroirs: Gassin, the winery site with its fantastic
cystalline schist, Vidauban, the long-standing site with its
deep red clay and Ramatuelle, on sand with sea views for
a light touch. Grenache accounts for 80% of the blend to
intensify the wine’s body and is joined by Cinsault for
freshness and Rolle for its salty and white fruit notes.
100% free-run juice selected by Jean-Etienne and François
Matton in charge of the press.Free-run wine is run off into
barrels by gravity then carefully racked and undergoes
alcoholic fermentation with drastic temperature control.
Like all Minuty rosé, no malolactic fermentation applies.

THE ROSE ET OR FLAVOUR
This vintage is all about elegance; the aromas of sun-drenched
and freshly-picked ripe fruit ranging from vine peach and
pear to melon. It’s full and crisp on the palate, powerful
yet pure like flavoured spring water.

THE ROSE ET OR EXPERIENCE
Serve cold (8-10°) in summer and chilled (10-12°) the rest
of the year. The Rose et Or vintage’s delicacy and body
mean it goes with a wide variety of dishes as it brings out
the spices. We recommend seafood from prime locations
such as fleshy oysters, Madagascan prawns or shellfish
and exotic or Asian dishes such as pad thai or Creole rougail
stew. Rose et Or works beautifully with the creamy sauce
and chicken in a good Caesar salad or is ideal with a classic
starter like melon and Parma ham. Bouillabaisse is a classic
pairing. Fresh and young hard cheese. And tropical fruit
sorbet for dessert.
