Forbes recommended Château Minuty 281 2020 as the first of “6 Magnifique French Rosés” to enjoy on Bastille Day. Writer Nicole Trilivas offered great background on the estate and an extremely favorable review of this luxury wine.
She explains, “the family-owned Château Minuty is one of only a few estates to be certified Cru Classé in the Côtes de Provence appellation, and while this bright and breezy brand has a wide range of rosés on offer (starting with the affordable M Range and Prestige Range), for something special it has to be Château Minuty 281. Each year, the winemakers of Minuty set aside only the best Provençal Grenache (90%), Syrah and Cinsault to craft the exclusive 281 rosé; the name of which is derived from the specific shade of blue (Pantone 281) of the bay of St Tropez as seen from the Minuty winery in nearby Gassin. Delicate and refined with notes of summery white stone fruit and iodine-inflected minerality, Minuty 281 is unexpected, extraordinary and everything you want in a French rosé.”
