Rose et Or encapsulates the Chateau Minuty Saint-Tropez estate. It speaks of the seaside with its freshness and flavors and represents the ultimate in what a quality Côtes de Provence rosé can achieve: its gentle freshness giving way to concentrated, almost gourmet flavors. It moves from the terrace to the white table cloth like no other.
Rose et Or comes exclusively from the original estate vineyard, a half-mile from the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The quality of this location has always been evident, as the estate was one of the original 18 classified growths in Provence. The vineyard is 100% hand-harvested and farmed under HVE (Sustainable) Certification. Fermentation is done on direct pressing to extract free-run juice only; at low temperature.
2019 was an excellent vintage. The late warm weather resulted in an early and relatively quick harvest, and the estate’s focus on viticulture and winemaking to emphasize freshness plays beautifully with the intense fruit.
