MINUTY
BLANC ET OR
SIGNATURE WINE - In less than a decade, the "Or" range has become the signature of Château Minuty. The result of meticulous plot work, these vintages are distinguished by their naturalness and the immediate pleasure they give.
THE STORY
This vintage is an estate wine. The OR range started with white wine as Etienne Matton had planted Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier with lots of potential under the Provençal sunshine. Jean-Etienne and François decided to create a new vintage using these two aromatic grapes which they blended with Provence’s signature Rolle variety. It may be a unique blend but it’s true to the intense aromas and subtle flavours that the brand is known for.
THE METHOD
Hand-picked grapes from the winery (High Environmental Value certification). Sauvignon and Viognier grapes are picked early to lock in their wealth of aromas. Light skin-contact brings out fantastic aromas in the juices that are carefully racked and fermented at a low temperature.
100% free-run juice.
THE FLAVOUR
This vintage is all about rich aromas from the Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. The flavour is beautifully balanced, full-bodied yet light. Salty and liquorice notes linger on the palate with a satisfying aftertaste.
THE EXPERIENCE
Serve cool (8-10°) in the summer and cool (10-12°) during the other seasons. The Cuvée Blanc et Or calls for ultra iodized products from the sea, sea urchins and oysters in priority. But the whole of the shellfish platter will be welcome as well as noble fish. Its aniseed notes will go perfectly with the traditional pissaladière. But also, duck foie gras, raw meat in tartar or carpaccio will be dishes to be favoured with the Blanc et Or. For dessert, it is a perfect accompaniment to sorbets.
