Overview
The Minuty Red Prestige Côtes de Provence is the flagship red cuvée of Château Minuty, renowned for its unique expression of the Provence terroir. This elegant wine harmonizes the character of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, resulting in an aromatic and complex profile.
Region & Terroir
Located in the heart of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, the vineyard benefits from Mediterranean sun, cool Mistral winds, and limestone-clay soils. These conditions foster optimal ripening and aromatic concentration.
Grape Varieties
The blend features Grenache for ripe red fruit and smoothness, Syrah for structure and spice, and Mourvèdre for depth and complexity. Each variety is carefully vinified to preserve freshness and balance.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, notes of wild cherries, raspberries, and subtle Provençal herbs emerge with hints of black pepper and violet. The palate is inviting, with juicy red fruits, a touch of mocha, and silky tannins leading to a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted lamb, braised beef, grilled vegetables, or aged goat cheese. Its balanced acidity and tannin structure also complement rich, flavorful dishes and charcuterie boards.
Winemaking & Aging
After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The wine matures in French oak barrels for six to eight months, refining its texture and adding subtle oak nuances.
