Producer Description

The Matton-Farnets have been in the wine industry for almost three centuries, beginning at the Domaine de Chateauneuf in Vidauban, and continuing at Che2teau Minuty from 1936 where Gabriel Farnet, the grandfather of Frane7ois and Jean-Etienne, the current owners, set up. Gabriel Farnet replanted the entire wine estate and returned Che2teau Minuty to its former glory. It was built under Napoleon III, as was the small chapel that the cuvee de l'Oratoire takes its name from and which was the estate's flagship bottle for a long time. The most prestigious hotels on the Cf4te d'Azur still have its fat Burgundian-shaped bottles. In 1955 Che2teau Minuty was one of 23 estates to be consecrated as a classed growth of the Cf4tes de Provence.Today Jean-Etienne and Frane7ois Matton have taken over and continue to improve Minuty. They have put their stamp on it by restructuring the vineyards and replacing the Carignan and Ugni Blanc with Grenache and Rolle, and by streamlining the winery with modern, up to date efficient equipment. By giving Minuty a more international direction, ensuring listings at the best tables around the world and by developing the wine tasting facilities, Jean-Etienne and Frane7ois Matton strive on a daily basis to increase Minuty's reputation. A big project to renovate the cellar has been undertaken.
