At the heart of the Saint-Tropez peninsula, the Rouge et Or 2023 from Château Minuty offers a contemporary, refined take on the Côtes de Provence AOP. This cuvée of fine wines is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a red that is both sculpted, vibrant and deeply gastronomic. Raised with respect for sustainable agriculture, it precisely expresses a sunny terroir where light shapes the material without weighing it down. The deep, topaz-tinged robe announces an aromatic score that blends bright cherry with a mosaic of fruits, from the delicate pulp of white-fleshed fruits to an unexpected hint of exoticism. On the palate the texture is fine, the tannins integrate gracefully, and a saline thread pulls the whole together, offering a sustained freshness backed by exemplary balance. For an elegant dinner or a convivial table, this wine stands out for its ability to enhance bold cuisine as much as simply delicious dishes. It imposes nothing; it proposes a style, a clear and sophisticated line that whispers rather than shouts, leaving behind the unmistakable signature of a great Provençal red.

Assemblage et vinification

Primarily made from Mourvèdre and Grenache, the Rouge et Or 2023 unites the uprightness of the first, a grape of structure and vertical drive, with the fleshy dimension of the second, generous, caressing and perfumed. Parcel-by-parcel work and careful handling of the harvest preserve the fruit's energy and the purity of the aromas. Every step aims for balance, from berry selection to measured extraction, to achieve polished tannins, textured yet airy material, and a clear expression of the terroir. The pursuit of tactile freshness and a salivating length guides the vinification, producing a red where density never excludes aromatic transparency. The 2023 vintage signature is read in this fruit clarity, in the pronounced saline breath and in a persistence that gently extends the sensation of purity through to the finish.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : deep red with topaz highlights, bright and clear, promising a gourmand and precise expression, between chromatic intensity and elegant texture.
• Nose : powerful and nuanced, led by fresh cherry, a procession of pulpy fruits, notes ranging from white-fleshed fruits to a touch of exoticism, all lifted by a Mediterranean breeze.
• Palate : an appealing attack, fine silky tannins, precise material, striking freshness and a saline thread that stretches the wine. The whole unfolds with great harmony and a straight, vibrant, persistent finish.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this wine between 16 to 17°C to bring out its aromatic range and delicate tannic profile. A gentle decanting, depending on the context and the bottle's maturity, can help the aromas open without upsetting the balance. Prefer large-bowled stemmed glasses to give the bouquet the space it needs to unfold. At the table, the Rouge et Or 2023 expresses itself with admirable clarity, gaining complexity over minutes. Store your bottles away from light, in a cool and stable environment to preserve the fruit integrity and the wine's tension until tasting.

Accords mets et vin

• Red meats : grilled or roasted cuts where the juiciness of the meat meets the finesse of the tannins.
• Lamb : herbed chop or shoulder, pink-cooked to dialogue with the saline thread and cherry brightness.
• Provençal cuisine : slow-cooked dishes, confit tomatoes and southern aromatics that extend the freshness and length.
• Full-flavoured poultry : roasted guinea fowl with pan juices, reduced jus, tender texture and gentle spices.
• Grilled vegetables : eggplant, pepper, courgette, whose smoky sweetness highlights the wine's balance.
