Minuty

Nestled between land and sea in the heart of Provence, Château Minuty has been the wine estate of the Matton-Farnet family for more than 85 years over four generations and has been a Côtes de Provence Classified Growth since 1955.

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 and gives pride of place to southern grape varieties.

For a wine from the estate, it all starts in the vineyard, in a preserved environment. The Château's vines are cultivated using sustainable methods, without weedkillers or pesticides, as part of a continuous improvement process to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment.

Château Minuty is one of the last estates in the Côtes de Provence where the grapes are harvested entirely by hand to ensure their perfect integrity. Jean-Etienne and François Matton, who are deeply attached to their land, are at the helm of the operation and have inherited their know-how and expertise from their family.

A new era for Minuty

In 2012, major renovations were undertaken to improve the welcome offered to visitors at the estate. They surrounded themselves with renowned architects and designers to renovate the tasting cellar, create a second barrel cellar, a meeting room, and a tasting room for professionals.

In 2022, Minuty saw the 4th generation of the Matton family flourish, with Anne-Victoire Matton joining her father Jean-Etienne and her uncle François in managing this Provençal gem.

In 2023, LVMH acquired Minuty.
