MINUTY CASTLE
PINK AND GOLD
In less than a decade, the "Gold" range has become the signature of Château Minuty. The result of meticulous plot-by-plot work, these vintages are distinguished by their naturalness and finesse.
THE STORY
This cuvée is a property wine. It was born in 2009 with the desire to push even further the search for delicacy and elegance on the palate as well as the aromatic generosity on the nose, signatures of the Estate. To achieve this, the Estate's three great terroirs were expertly blended and as such Rose et Or embodies the taste of Château Minuty.
THE METHOD
Grapes 100% from the Estate, harvested manually. HVE (High Environmental Value) certification on the entire Estate since 2019 (160 hectares). The grapes are harvested manually at the right ripeness and come from three terroirs: Gassin, the Château's site, with its beautiful crystalline schists; Vidauban, the historic site, with its deep red clay soils; and Ramatuelle, on the sands overlooking the sea for lightness. 100% free-run juice selected by Jean-Etienne and François Matton at the helm of pressing. These free-run juices are collected by gravity in the vats, then subjected to meticulous settling and alcoholic fermentation with drastic temperature control. No malolactic fermentation, as with all Minuty rosés.
THE TASTE
A very refined vintage: aromas with notes of citrus and garrigue. The palate is airy. Its minerality gives it a very special freshness, enhanced by a salinity specific to the terroir.
THE MOMENT
Serve cold (8-10°) in summer and cool (10-12°) during other seasons. The Château Minuty Rose et Or cuvée, with its generous and delicate suppleness, can accompany a wide variety of dishes, especially as it brings out the spices. We recommend seafood of fine origin, fleshy oysters, Madagascar shrimp, beautiful shellfish, but also exotic and Asian dishes such as pad Thai or rougail from Reunion Island. The essential bouillabaisse. Fresh and young cheeses for cooked pasta. And for dessert, chocolate pastries or exotic fruit sorbets.
