Description
The 2020 Côtes de Provence Cuvée Prestige from Château Minuty is an exceptional rosé, produced by one of the most iconic estates in Provence. This rosé wine is a true expression of the Mediterranean terroir, combining elegance, freshness, and complexity. The Cuvée Prestige is renowned for its refined style, perfectly capturing the essence of Provence rosé wines, with a delicate balance of fresh fruit and floral aromas.
Blend
Grenache: Provides fruitiness, especially notes of red berries like strawberry and raspberry. Cinsault: Adds finesse and freshness to the wine, with delicate floral aromas. Rolle (Vermentino): Contributes structure and vibrancy, with touches of citrus and white fruits. Syrah: Adds a subtle structure and hints of sweet spices. This harmonious blend creates a balanced, fresh, and elegant wine, perfect for enjoying under the Provençal sun.
Tasting notes
Color: The wine displays a very pale, almost translucent hue with pink and salmon highlights, typical of high-quality Provençal rosés.
Nose: The nose is delicate and fresh, marked by aromas of red fruits like strawberry and red currant, complemented by notes of white peach and melon. Floral hints of rose and jasmine add subtle complexity, along with citrus accents like grapefruit.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is vibrant, fresh, and elegant. Flavors of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) and citrus extend through, accompanied by a lovely minerality and a light salinity, characteristic of the Provençal terroir. The texture is smooth and silky, with a bright acidity that balances the wine’s roundness. The finish is long, clean, and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and purity.
