There is no age to give birth. This is why at 65, Mimie Mathy, with her companion Benoist Gérard, gave life to a crazy project a few weeks ago. Holders of a wine estate in Vaison-la-Romaine, in the Vaucluse for some time, the lovers announced happy news to their community with the arrival of a “baby”.
“The adventure of Minoist continues with the arrival of ‘Le Petit Minoist’. I wanted with this new expression of the domain to pay tribute to my wife without whom, Minoist would not exist. This is why I took over the drawing of our wedding invitation which schematizes us!”, wrote the chef on his Facebook page, quite proud of his work. But it was only a few days after this announcement that the fruit of their labor really saw the light of day.
An overpriced “baby”? Not for couple
“The latest addition to Minoist, Le Petit Minoist 2021, is ready to meet you”they congratulated each other before continuing: “Its blend is made up of 80% Syrah and 20% red Grenache. It has an expressive nose of black fruits and spices, present tannins, finesse, fruit, a delicious character. It will accompany your summer evenings around a barbecue or a simmered dish like a Provençal stew or a nice plate of charcuterie…”. If the majority of their fans seemed happy with the news, a user did not fail to express his anger.
She judges the price of the wine far too expensive and was not shy about letting it be known. “Its cost, dear friends”, she wrote, not failing to raise questions on the side of Benoist Gérard. Mimie Mathy’s companion letting her know that he did not understand the meaning of her question before she clarified: “YET IT IS VERY CLEAR HIS COST THE PRICE OF A BOTTLE OF WINE”. A criticism that the chef did not seem to accept. He spoke again to justify the price: “The price in the cellar is 14€. On shipping the shipping costs are prohibitive with the increase in fuel !!….. and then, taste then we will talk about it again”. An answer that seems to have finally convinced the dissatisfied customer.
