One of our long time direct import properties. From the same owners as the famed St. Julien Chateau Talbot this beauty comes from Coteaux Varois en Provence, on 15 ha of vines with a cooler and windier terroir on deep clay-limestone slopes.

This year, Minuty has chosen Australian artist Elliott Routledge to dress the iconic M cuvée.With this creation, Minuty offers us an ode to the French Riviera: it embodies the excellence and refinement of the terroirs of Provence. The new design features colors and motifs inspired by the South-East of France, highlighting Minuty's home region and the production of the famous cuvée M.
-Importer notes
A long time Bassin's direct import this wonderful Domaine based in the beautiful town of Sablet makes authentic, terroir driven wines that sell for a song. There may be no better "all purpose" red on the planet!
This is now entirely made in house at the domain (rather than, as is commonly done, at a facility specializing in sparkling wine production). Minimum ageing on the lees is two and a half years, and the wine is subsequently disgorged upon order. Dosage is in the range of 6 grams per liter. Production averages 750 cases of 6-packs.
