ChÂteau Minuty
About the brand
Gabriel Farnet, who already owned Domaine de Châteauneuf in Vidauban, acquired Château Minuty in 1936. The estate was originally built under Napoleon III, as was the small chapel that gave its name to the cuvée de l'Oratoire, which remained the emblematic bottle for a long time. Many palaces on the Côte d'Azur still have these bulging bottles.
Today, Jean-Etienne and François Matton have taken over and continue to develop Minuty. They have put their signature on the wine by continuing to renovate the vineyard, replacing the Carignan and Ugni blanc with Grenache and Rolle, and by equipping themselves with modern, high-performance tools.Today, Jean-Etienne and François Matton have taken over and continue to develop Minuty.

Behind the label
THE MAISON
The vineyard of Château Minuty is remarkably well exposed on the hillsides of the villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle, overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate.
Château Minuty is surrounded by 60 hectares in a single block on schistose limestone soils, complemented by 80 hectares on clay-limestone soil in Vidauban and 20 hectares on the Valderian hillsides in Ramatuelle with a magnificent view over the Bay of Pampelonne.
