"L'AOP «CĂŽtes de Provence» est certainement lâune des appellations les plus respectĂ©es du sud de la France. Au coeur de ce paysage, la maison Minuty, propriĂ©tĂ© familiale depuis quatre gĂ©nĂ©rations, excelle dans lâart du rosĂ©. Minuty ne fait pas du rosĂ©, elle compose des rosĂ©s. Chaque cuvĂ©e est pensĂ©e comme une musique dâĂ©tĂ©: lĂ©gĂšre, entraĂźnante, mais rigoureuse dans son orchestration. Le Minuty M, RosĂ© 2024 ne fait pas exception. Le nez est une caresse vive, mĂȘlant les zestes dâagrumes, la fraise, et une touche de melon â tout en retenue, sans exubĂ©rance. Pas de parfum tapageur ici, mais une Ă©lĂ©gance florale, presque saline. En bouche, câest la fraĂźcheur qui prend les devants. Une attaque vive, cristalline, qui sâarrondit doucement sans jamais sâalourdir. On pense Ă la peau dâune nectarine, Ă une pointe de pamplemousse, Ă quelques baies rouges Ă©crasĂ©es. La texture est soyeuse, presque aĂ©rienne, portĂ©e par une aciditĂ© fine qui prolonge la finale. Un rosĂ© sec, droit, mais dâune sensualitĂ© discrĂšte. Servir Ă 10 °C. Tout indiquĂ© Ă lâapĂ©ritif ou pour escorter la salade niçoise, les cruditĂ©s, le cocktail de crevettes, le gaspacho, les langoustines Ă la lime, la pizza aux fruits de mer, ou les pattes de crabe."

"Helles Lachsrosa, Litschi, fruchtige Frische, schöne Balance zwischen SĂŒĂe und SĂ€ure, leichtfĂŒĂig, elegant und animierend, gute LĂ€nge, nicht laut"

About This Wine
The nose is an explosion of fruit, with refined and straightforward aromas, evolving from white-fleshed fruits to exotic ones. The palate is complex, saline, and remarkably fresh, balancing aromatic intensity with lightness.
Minuty M embodies both the spirit of Provence and the Minuty style. The bottle shape, refined in 2014, was originally designed in the 1960s by Monique Farnet, mother of Jean-Etienne and François Matton, defining the visual identity of rosé wines from the region.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs perfectly with all kinds of appetizers and savory bites, including olives, tapas, taramasalata, crackers, wasabi peas, and vegetable chips. It complements summer salads like the classic tomato and mozzarella or Niçoise salad. From the sea, it enhances seafood such as small crustaceans, pink shrimp, and shellfish. It also goes well with grilled or roasted appetizers.
Winemaking
The grapes come from all the terroirs of the CĂŽtes de Provence appellation, both inland and coastal. They are pressed, then settled and fermented at a low temperature to preserve the wine's aromatic integrity. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks without malolactic fermentation.
