Minuty M is pure Pleasure, pure Provence and pure Minuty in a bottle. Pure Pleasure because of its natural and easy-going vibe. Pure Provence because of its selection of grapes from all the Designation’s terroirs, from the seafront to the hinterland and Sainte-Victoire. Pure Provence because of the bottle design that was updated in 2014 but invented and designed in the 60s by Monique Farnet, Jean-Etienne and François Matton’s mother. The entire region made the revolutionary bottle shape their own which goes to show how the Matton-Farnet family has always set the benchmark for Provence wine. Last but not least, Pure Minuty because it embodies the winery’s style with intense aromas paired with light flavours.
As early as 1930, Gabriel Farnet completely replanted the estate and restored its splendor to the Château Minuty, built under Napoleon III, as was the small chapel that gave its name to the cuvée de l'Oratoire, which had long remained the emblematic bottle of the estate. The palaces of the Côte d'Azur still possess its bellied bottles with the Burgundy.
In 1955, Château Minuty is one of 23 properties to be distinguished as a Classified Growth of the Côtes de Provence. Since 1960, Monique Farnet, daughter of Gabriel, and her husband Etienne Matton, long-time president of the classified wines, have replanted the traditional Provencal varieties (Tibouren, rolle, Grenache), limited yields by seeking a high quality of vinification. Thanks to this rigorous work in the vineyards, they have established the reputation of Château Minuty on the largest tables of the Côte d'Azur.
Today, Jean-Etienne and François Matton have taken over and continue to advance Minuty. They have signed up by restructuring the vineyard - replacing carignan and white ugni with grenache and rolle - and by acquiring a modern and efficient tool while opening up more to the outside, through a global presence on the best tables. By developing the reception of visitors on site, Jean-Etienne and François Matton work daily for the radiation of Minuty. A major rehabilitation project for the vault was completed.
Grapes from all the terroirs of Côtes de Provence, continental and maritime. Cold pressing and fermenting, no malolactic fermentation.
