Château Minuty

Gabriel Farnet, set himself up at Château Minuty in 1936 and set about restoring it to its former splendour. And so it was that in 1955, Château Minuty became one of 23 wineries to be classified as the distinguished « Cru Classé des Côtes de Provence », or Classified Growths of the Côtes de Provence. His son, Etienne Matton, who was for many years the president of the Classified Growths, replanted traditional Provencal grape varietals with limited yields, strived for the highest quality of vinification and secured the reputation of Château Minuty in the greatest restaurants of the French Riviera. Today, in the same spirit of the pursuit of excellence that their father started, Jean-Etienne and François Matton have undertaken the following : - the restructuring of the vineyards by replacing the Carignan and Ugni Blanc with Grenache and Rolle, - the rationalisation of the domain by equipping it with modern and efficient tools, - the creation of a newfound youthful image of both the brand and its clients by concentrating on the high quality range of rosés whose distinguishing qualities are their freshness, elegance and leanness.
