Producer Information

Château Minuty is a Provence winery in Saint-Tropez best known for its rosé wines. Minuty was one of the Cru Classés of Provence designated in 1955 in an effort to classify top producers in the region and create a tiered system similar to Bordeaux. However, the classification never secured as much credibility as Bordeaux, and instead recognizes longevity over quality. Château Minuty’s rosé wines are some of the best-selling rosés in the United States. The estate has 65 hectares (160 acres) of estate vineyards in Saint-Tropez and 15 hectares (37 acres) in nearby Ramatuelle on the slopes of Val de Rians. Farming practices follow many organic techniques such as not using pesticides or herbicides, although Minuty has no formal organic certification. Grenache is the most important variety here, although Cinsaut, Syrah and Mourvèdre also feature in blends and also appear as varietal wines. In 2009, construction was completed on a new tank room with temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and a total capacity of 400,000 liters. Each individual vineyard block has a designated tank and is fermented separately. Minuty mostly makes Provence-designated wine but also has a range of Var IGP offers as well. The Rosé et Or, Prestige Rosé and the M Rosé have become Minuty’s most recognizable wines, and are distributed in the US by Treasury Wine Estates. The success of the rosé has led to more Grenache plantings which, along with Rolle, replaced Ugni Blanc and Carignan in the vineyards in the 1990s.
