Introduced in 2015, the cuvee takes its name from Pantone 281, the deep blue used for its distinctive bottle and a reference to the Mediterranean Sea. The wine is designed around complexity, character and length, with a pronounced maritime influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are selected from the estate's finest Grenache vines located on plots by the sea.

The nose is expressive, elegant, and complex, opening with aromas of exotic fruits and floral notes. On the palate, it is generous and aromatic, distinguished by a saline minerality. The attack is lively, driven by fine tension, leading to a long, well-balanced finish.” — Chateau Minuty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 — Tom Cannavan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Striking in its metallic purple paint-dipped bottle, this blend of 85% Grenache with Syrah 15% is Minuty's prestige cuvée. It is among the palest of this year's crop of Provence pinks and is quite headily perfumed with wild strawberry and elderflower, rose-hip and a hint of peach. In the mouth it is very much fruit-forward, and though it hints at sweetness, with only 1g\/l of residual sugar it is not: the finish is dry, and after a mid-palate suggestion of pulpy, creamy soft red fruits the acidity is tingling and refreshing.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e — ELLE a Table, awarded 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Global Rosé Masters 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver\u003c\/strong\u003e — London Wine Competition, awarded 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBronze\u003c\/strong\u003e — International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition, awarded 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grenache 85%, Syrah 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côtes de Provence, Provence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesignation:\u003c\/strong\u003e AOP Côtes de Provence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;1g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e HEV certified; plot selection; hand-picked\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-run juice; low-temperature alcoholic fermentation; no malolactic fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025–2027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moet Hennessy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52452821958958,"sku":"8417052191","price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2024_Chateau_Minuty_281_Rose_750ml.jpg?v=1786682074","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2024-chateau-minuty-cotes-de-provence-rose-cuvee-281-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
