    Château Minuty Gabriel (Red) 2022 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Minuty's top red is a wine to convince sceptics that they make more than just rosé. Semi-opaque ruby. Creamy vanilla oak on the nose alongside dark inky fruit, wild fennel, and garrigue. On the palate, generous new oak provides a sweet-and-smoky richness, supported by powerful mineral acidity and generous red berry fruit of damsons, plums, and pomegranate molasses. This is a slightly polarising wine, as the oak has a rich, new-world-inspired expressiveness which some might consider unexpected for Saint Tropez. Powerful and charming. Provence, but sunshine-by-the-sea Provence in winter. Delicious wine.
