Far from being a “feminine” wine, rosé has a robust, complex character that its light salmon colour conceals.

Despite an unusually chilly winter and a shortfall of water, the harvest proved bountiful nevertheless, producing four refined vintages that are particularly light and crisp: the Château Minuty 281, the Rosé et Or, the Prestige Rosé, and the Minuty M. The Prestige Rosé in particular surprises with its fuller body, salinity and minerality, with a delightful palate of citrus and green apple that even the steeliest of dads can appreciate.
