Beverage Media New York included Château Minuty in its “Around Town” section, highlighting the winery’s distributor meeting with Empire Merchants. The piece said, “Empire Merchants kicked off Rosé Season early and in style, with a visit from one of Côtes de Provence’s leading vignerons, Francois Matton, co-owner of Château Minuty, and Michelle Waleck, Business Development Director, North America for the winery. The estate’s featured wines – 281 Rosé, Rosé et Or, and “M” de Minuty Rosé – are being joined by Minuty Prestige Rosé, available in the U.S. for the first time this summer. The new SKU and new importer, Vintus, bring some extra excitement this year.” You can read more about it HERE

“Spicy oak aromas play nicely with core blackberry and black plum scents. On the palate, this is chewy and concentrated, with hard tannins. Generous flavors of black fruits, dried beef, herbs and chocolaty oak yield to spice and vanilla on the finish […] this is an excellent and full-flavored red with ample oak.”

Wine Review Online included Minuty Prestige Rosé 2019 in a roundup of recommended wines to drink at home while quarantined. Writer Michael Apstein said “Regular readers know that I’m not swept away by rosé, but Minuty’s 2019 ‘Prestige’ Côtes de Provence Rosé makes even the most skeptical sit up and take notice.” We couldn’t agree more. He joked that because of the very pale color, “you’d be forgiven to think it would turn out to be bland. Not at all. Lively wild strawberry-like flavors leap from the glass. This dry and invigorating rosé can hold up to some serious sushi.” Read the full story here: http://www.winereviewonline.com/Dr_Apstein_Case_for_Quarantine_Two.cfm

We couldn’t agree more with Departures contributor Jonah Flicker, who writes that “spring is the perfect time to open a bottle of rosé,” and included recommendations of the Château Minuty 281 and Minuty Prestige as best in class options to pick up and enjoy now.

He notes the lovely 2019 Prestige is available nationally for the first time in the US. Then continuing, “the pinnacle rosé from this family-owned estate, located on the Saint Tropez peninsula, is Château Minuty 281, named after the dripping blue Pantone color on the bottle. The 2019 vintage is bright and lively with notes of white stone fruit and citrus.” Read his full write up HERE

“The 2018 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Caradeux 1er Cru offers cold stone and Granny Smith apple notes on a nose […] The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity on the entry and an appealing spiciness that emerges halfway through. Finishes with welcome bite.”

“The 2018 Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc 1er Cru offers jasmine and honeysuckle on the nose, one of the best-defined of Chanson’s whites and displaying good intensity. The palate is crisp on the entry with fine weight, light orange peel and citrus notes and a dab of spice on the finish.”
