Winery Beginnings
Acquisition of Château Minuty by Gabriel Farnet in 1936.
Gabriel Farnet, already the owner of the Domaine de Châteauneuf in Vidauban, acquired Château Minuty in 1936. The estate was originally built under Napoleon III, as was the small chapel that gave its name to the Cuvée de l'Oratoire, which long remained the emblematic bottle. Many luxury hotels on the Côte d'Azur still possess these bulging bottles.
Gabriel Farnet began by completely replanting the estate after the Second World War.
In 1955, Minuty was one of 23 properties to be distinguished as a classified growth of the Côtes de Provence.
