The Buying Guide of Wine Enthusiast’s June/July issue features 3 terrific reviews and recommendations from Château Minuty. Prestige 2019 (91 pts), with its predominance of Grenache, is described as “both rich and crisp, a balance that makes it ready to drink.” The Rose et Or 2019 (92 pts) is a “rich and generous wine,” and praised for acidity that is “beautifully integrated into the fruits and rounded texture, making this a great food wine.”
Additionally, the new release of 281 2019 (92 pts) is also selected as a Cellar Selection and lets readers know there is some aging potential in the wine as well. In terms of the profile of the bottle, Roger Voss explains “Almost pure Grenache gives a wine packed with red-fruit flavors balanced by young, enthusiastic acidity. The fruitiness is delicious, fresh and crisp.”

281 Rosé 2019
Côtes de Provence
281 refers to the Pantone number for this royal blue color that elegantly cascades in a glaze down the side of the bottle. It evokes the sky and the sea of Minuty's French Riviera home, in particular the deep blue that appears everywhere after the strong afternoon wind. 100% estate from a single old plot of Grenache whose clone is exclusive to Château Minuty, it is the ultimate reflection of their special seaside vineyard and Provence.

Côtes de Provence
Château Minuty is the global leader in Côtes de Provence rosé, and beyond that it can be argued is the most important estate in the history of Provence rosé. The Saint-Tropez based, family owned estate has been, since its founding, one of the quality leaders for the region. Minuty then became one of the most visible producers in the second half of the 20th century, a result of quality production and commercial foresight when no one in the region could imagine the global phenomenon Provence rosé would become. And then in the last two decades, Minuty defined the vision for and led the unbelievable growth in Provence rosé around the globe.
