Rosé with a Riviera edge

Sun on your face, a glass of rosé in hand, and the lapping water of the Amstel River on the background. Add a plateau fruits de mer, perfectly grilled trout and a velvety smooth cherry dessert and you get the idea: this is summer. WINELIFE recently sat down on the sunny terrace from Brasserie Marie in Amsterdam, where chef Jesse Franzen served a parade of classics. Each dish was effortlessly accompanied by another glass of Minuty - rosé at its best.

Rosé 2.0

You have rosé, and you have Minuty. What makes this Provence topper so irresistible? Decades of knowledge, savoir-faire and a nose for style. Since 1936, this iconic house has been making rosés that will leave you momentarily silent - before you quickly take another sip.

O la la in a glass

That signature pale pink colour? Check. A fresh nose of peach, citrus and blossom? Definitely. But what really makes Minuty stand out is its subtle minerality and fine spiciness. No excess, but finesse. An elegant wink from the south of France, with a high o la la content.

Which Minuty are you today?

Light, fresh and fruity? Minuty M is your summer friend. Ideal for on the terrace, with a salad niçoise or just because it's Wednesday.

Fancy something with just a little more depth? Minuty Prestige is elegant, subtle and always balanced - a rosé with a bit of haute couture in the glass. Should it really be a party? Then there's Minuty Rose et Or: the grande dame with flair. Perfect with a refined lunch (think: Marie aan de Amstel) or a dinner that may last for hours. And then... the crowning glory: Minuty 281. The top cuvée. So pure, so stylish, you don't need a dish with this. Just be still, sip, smile.

Tip from WINELIFE: book that rose lunch

In Amsterdam? Treat yourself (and your rosébuddy) to lunch at Brasserie Marie. Sun, river views and a glass Minuty there, what more could a person want?
