Further Information About this Wine

The AIX Rosé is a classic expression of Provençal rosé, delivered with elegance, restraint and finesse. The blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault—with Grenache supplying fruit and structure, Syrah depth and grip, and Cinsault lift and florality—offers balance and tonal refinement. The estate sits at 420 m altitude, among the highest in the appellation, which brings cooler nights, enhanced freshness and tension.

The 2023 vintage was tough: frost in January, storms in spring, downy mildew pressure, and one of the hottest summers on record. But these conditions also concentrated flavor and tightened acidity.

In the glass, the experience is subtle—white stone, raspberries, citrus and saline lift—rather than overt fruitiness. It’s a wine built for freshness, food synergy and graceful drinking—not weight. With careful handling it can retain steam for 1–2 years before softening.

About Provence France Wine Region

Provence is the spiritual home of rosé wine. Among its sub-regions, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence lies inland from the Mediterranean, benefiting from sun, altitude and cooling Mistral winds. The soils are predominantly calcareous, limestone, clay and siliceous, lending minerality and tension to fruit. The climate sees hot, dry summers tempered by sea breezes and nights that allow acid retention. Traditional Provençal rosés rely on grape varieties like Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, which excel here for color, fragrance, and structure. The "bleeding" (saignée) technique and immediate gentle pressing preserve freshness, while the terroir ensures freshness, saline nuance and subtle complexity—a defining hallmark of fine Provence roses. The region produces pale, lively, gastronomic rosés meant to drink young, yet with enough backbone to accompany cuisine with herbs, seafood or light meats.
