2016 “M” de Minuty Rose<br />

If we are to sum up in one word the 2016 vintage, it will be:<br />

concentration. In Provence the vines are accustomed to summers<br />

<strong>with</strong> few rains, typical of the French Riviera. They still remember<br />

the vintages of the last decades, which enabled them to find the<br />

resources necessary to pro<strong>du</strong>ce quality grapes. The episodic rains<br />

combined <strong>with</strong> the high heat of late August concentrated the sugars<br />

in the grape berries but also the natural acids which are the vertebral<br />

column of the Rosés.<br />

Vinification:<br />

The vinification revealed powerful aromas of white peach and<br />

grapefruit. To summarize Rosés of the 2016 vintage: very aromatic<br />

<strong>with</strong> a beautiful freshness.<br />

Tasting Notes:<br />

This vibrant dry Rosé reveals perfectly harmonized peach and and ied<br />

orange aromas that carry over a fresh, round palate.<br />
