A blend of hand-harvested Grenache and Cinsault fruit from vines planted at elevations of 350 to 500 metres to the clay and chalky limestone soils of Coteaux Varois en Provence. The climate here is decidedly Mediterranean, and the hot summer days are counterbalanced with cool nighttime temperatures (this diurnal shift is so very important for high-quality winegrowing). Light Provençal copper/pink in color; fine, pulverized stony, red berry (particularly wild strawberry) aromas; supple in texture, then vibrant and alive on the tongue, mineral and mouthwatering, long on flavor and impact, too. In our humble estimation, this is among the finest quality of Provençal rosé wines available for the money.

60% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 10% Syrah fruit from vines on average 30 years old and planted to the clay and limestone soils of the Mont Saint-Victoire at elevations of around 250 mètres. Alluring delicate sunset pink in color with what the Famille Sumeire call «peach reflections» and aromas of «fresh violet and wild strawberries»; back here in Austin, Andrea noted taut red berry fruits, Brian noted peach, Henry recalled the salted watermelon of his more recent youth and a medley of herbes de Provence, Lucinda noted a certain tanginess and our winebuyer (who tends to use more words) noted a palpably delicious equilibrium and vivid mouthwatering quality with gentle but lasting intensity of flavor on the finish. All in all, we all found this to be another winner from (perhaps?) our favorite source for pink wine - oui - c'est la Provence.

M de Minuty is produce of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah fruit, hand-harvested and brought directly to the winery and to press, protected by carbonic gas to preserve every ounce of Provençal freshness and flavor in the process; light Provençal platinum to copper pink in color with ultra-fresh aromas suggestive of mineral, fresh cool melon, peach, fraises des bois and the nearby salt (Mediterranean) sea; crisp and mineral on the palate, too, with a tart berry fruit quality that is completely, utterly, wholly refreshing; then, fully dry yet tactile on the finish leaving the mouth just watering away and waiting for more.
