  • A blush pink with intense and joyful aromas. The initial aroma is a delicate combination of citrus, tropical fruit, and white blackcurrant, which makes way for an explosion of aromas bursting with complex white fruit, vine peach, salty, spicy, and white pepper notes. A scent made in heaven melts into a dreamy mouthfeel enhanced by the wine’s body and intense grip. It is best served chilled (10-12°) rather than cold, so the 281 can be beautifully paired with flavoursome dishes and premium shellfish, whether served simply like roasted lobster, rock lobster in banana leaf or cooked in a scallop risotto. Spicy dishes like Peking duck for its sweet and sour flavour, beef curry for its fragrant spices or delicious yakitori grilled with its sweet sauce. Summery salads are served with lobster, avocado, and grapefruit quarters. Sophisticated berry desserts.

A plot selection of the winery’s three main terroirs goes into this vintage. The winery’s wonderful Syrah joins Grenache from a single clone to bring in the spicy and peppery aftertaste. Like the rest of the estate, the grapes are grown with the HEV certification (High Environmental Value) with specific ground cover based on soil type and exposure. The grapes are hand-picked, something that’s essential as it locks in the grape’s integrity but is so rare. Next comes Jean-Etienne and François Matton’s expertise, knowledge of the vineyard, and delicate touch from winemaking to bottling to produce this extraordinary vintage.

Everything for these special wines begins in the vineyards. As part of a continual improvement approach to lessen the impact of its operations on the environment, the Château's vines are grown using sustainable methods without using weedkillers or pesticides. One of the last properties in the Côtes de Provence, Château Minuty harvests all of its grapes by hand to guarantee their absolute purity. The operation is run by Jean-Etienne and François Matton, who have a strong connection to their land and have received their knowledge and skills from their ancestors.

Winery

Château Minuty was purchased in 1936 by the Matton-Farnet family, and soon after, the vineyards were completely replanted with a focus on traditional, local grape varieties, 
painstakingly farmed to produce lower yields. By the 1960s, this quality-led approach had paid dividends as the wines of Château Minuty became a fixture on the lists of the finest restaurants of the Côte d’Azur. Understanding the power of their name, a négociant arm was added to the business in 1995, applying their quality focus and production know-how to a complementary range of branded wines under the Minuty label. This foresight and dedication cemented their position as one of the best-recognised producers in the region, long before the explosion in popularity of delicate, pale rosés that have occurred in recent years.
