La Minuette Rosé

Championing authenticity
La Minuette Rosé

‘La Minuette’ blended rosé comes from La Livinière limestone terroir. Its pale colour and floral bouquet represent the ‘Minuette’ variety of rose planted in Kenya by Tim Ford in 1982, during his 25 years of rose production in Africa. A nod to both the past and the future, La Minuette exemplifies estate values of tradition and modernity.

Tasting notes

The 2025 vintage continues in the same elegant Provençal style as previous years, with a delicate, luminous pale pink colour. The nose is fresh and airy, revealing attractive aromas of red berries and vine peach, delivering an immediate sense of finesse. The balance is remarkable: raspberry and redcurrant express themselves with precision in an elegant, refreshing texture. The finish, subtly lifted by mouth-watering acidity, extends the tasting experience with lightness and delicacy.

Press & awards

La Minuette Rosé
90/100 "Joyful, fruity and supple rosé showing orange peel, red currants and mild spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a vivid, tangy character on the palate. A delicious, mouthwatering finish. From organically grown grapes. James Suckling
La Minuette Rosé
16.5/20 "Pale, elegant, classy. Tingling with life, a spine of cuttlefish-skeleton minerality and texture, and white-peach fruit. Full-bodied acidity etched with sweet citrus.” Jancis Robinson
La Minuette Rosé
16.5/20 "(...) Once again, Gayda has made a rosé that walks a high-wire act between flavour and acidity that few achieve. It has a summer-dawn rose-garden perfume, petals drenched with dew, and the smell of wet grass pressed under bare feet. It tastes of salted doughnut peaches, white-peach skin, ground cumin, blood orange, rose hips and forest floor. But it's the acidity that I love: the way it moves, its 3-D linearity (...)" (TC) Jancis Robinson
La Minuette Rosé
"Fresh, floral and bursting with sweet strawberry touches. This has aromas of bright summer fruits on the nose followed by raspberry, strawberry, grapefruit and lime zest on the palate underpinned by subtle touches of stony minerality." (GH) Decanter
