Rev up the summer season with Rosé. Not just any Rosé, go all in with Chateau Minuty, global leader of Côtes de Provence Rosé et Or and M de Minuty Rosé paired with select summer bites.
Typically enjoyed chilled, Rosé is THE summer beverage. A mix between red and white, these Minuty Rosé wines pair the famous Grenache and local Tibouren grapes. A combination that brings its distinct Côte d’Azur flavor. Which makes them versatile for food pairings such as seafood, berry salads and can also be enjoyed alone for an all day Minuty apéro.

Roger Voss Editor of Wine Enthusiast further describes it to be “A beautiful crisp wine, with red fruits, a touch of saltiness and tangy acidity. Cool fermentation has kept so much delicious flavorsome fruit.” Minuty recommends to pair with aperitifs, seafood, bouillabaisse, Asian food, sushi, strawberry and basil salad. See below for select pairings from Honest Cooking’s best matched recipes:
Strawberry and Asparagus Salad – Recipe by Debra Smith

Cucumber Salad with Asian Style Seasme Dressing – Recipe by Danae Halliday
“Perfect for a warm weather gathering, this refreshing sesame and cucumber side is full of flavor from toasted sesame seeds and a dark sesame oil dressing.

Wild Salmon Cakes – Recipe by Deborah Mele

2018 “M” de Minuty Rosé
Part of the “pleasure wine range” The M de Minuty Rose is a blend from Grenache and Cinsault creating an aromatic harmony of peach and candied orange. The flavor is crisp and round on the palate.
