Chateau Minuty Prestige Rose 2021 – 1.5L Breakthru

93pts Wilfred Wong

The 2021 Minuty Prestige Rosé is precise and appealing. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of sandalwood, honeydew, and mineral notes. Pair this with a platter of lightly grilled shellfish. 

92pts Wine & Spirits

At first, this wine’s pineapple-core waxiness dominates its ripe fruit. With some air, bitter aperitivo-herb scents lighten it, the flavors coalescing into cherry pit. Its mouth-watering, and would garner compliments around the pool or at a high-end dinner party.

92pts Vinous

Shimmering, salmon skin color. Displays vibrant, mineral-inflected strawberry, blood orange and floral scents, along with a spicy white pepper topnote. Taut and linear on the palate, offering vibrant red berry and citrus fruit flavors than slowly unfold with aeration. The firm, nervy finish shows fine definition and hangs on with strong, minerally tenacity.

91pts James Suckling

Lovely aromas of rosemary, grated nutmeg, baked lemon and green strawberry. Medium-bodied. Bright and fresh with a persistent finish. Tasty stuff. 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% cinsault, 10% rolle. Drink now.

90pts  Wine Enthusiast

Rich and having fine red fruits, this wine, with its high proportion of Grenache, has intense pepper flavor as well as crisp berry acidity. It is densely textured and ready to drink.

Winemaker Notes

Pale with pomelo highlights. The nose is precise and delicate with notes of flowers and melon. In the mouth, the wine is powerful and well balanced, with notes of citrus and red fruits. It is the most structured and expressive of all the Minuty wines. The whole is underlined by a pleasant minerality.
