VILLA MINUTY AT ROSEWOOD LONDON
May 05, 2024
This summer, much loved rosé wine estate Minuty will bring the French Riviera lifestyle and its uniquely Provençal Art de Vivre to luxury hotel, Rosewood London, transforming the terrace into VILLA MINUTY - a coastal restaurant inspired by the house’s iconic location on the Côte d’Azur.
Set within the hotel’s iconic Edwardian courtyard, this immersive summer long experience will create a perfect suntrap to spend long lunches and warm evenings like those enjoyed in the South of France. In a nod to nearby old town Saint-Tropez, beautiful ceramics, wicker lamps, rattan furniture and earthy linens will adorn the space creating a rustic-chic atmosphere. The terrace itself will be surrounded by luscious vegetation reminiscent of Château Minuty’s remarkably well exposed location on the verdant hillsides of the villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle, overlooking the azure blue waters of Pampelonne Bay. The space will be further brought to life with elements embodying the savoir-faire of four generations of the Matton-Farnet family including a swing seat inspired by that from the Minuty Château Terrace where they spent their afternoons.
With Rosewood London perfectly balancing indulgence and imaginative culinary journeys, Minuty’s rosé wines, with their delicate character influenced by the sea air, have been expertly paired by Holborn Dining Room Head Chef, at Rosewood London, Liam Fauchard-Newman, to create a menu of dishes inspired by the sun-drenched ingredients of the market gardens surrounding Minuty’s estate.
Such dishes include Octopus Carpaccio with coriander and citrus, Bouillabaisse, feta stuffed Courgette Flowers and Tarte Tropezienne with orange blossom, diplomat cream and fresh raspberries and more.
Guests can look forward to enjoying all dishes with a selection of refreshing cuvées including Château Minuty ‘Rose et Or’ 2023 and Château Minuty ‘281’ 2023 as well as those exclusive to Rosewood London: Minuty ‘Blanc et Or’ 2023 and Minuty ‘Rouge et Or’ 2022..
From the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to the world’s finest tables, a glass of Minuty holds the promise of convivial moments and pure pleasure, instantly bringing the “spirit of St Tropez” to life. This ultimate summer terrace destination will bring the essence of Minuty’s home to meet Rosewood London’s charm, inviting guests to enjoy refreshing rosé, paired with Provençale contemporary cuisine.
