AIX Rosé AOP Coteaux d Aix en Provence 2024

"AIX" Rosé, Maison Saint Aix, AOP Coteaux d' Aix en Provence, France, 2024

Grapes: A blend of mostly Grenache plus Syrah & Cinsault, unoaked.

Producer Tasting Note: 

AIX is a well-balanced premium Provence rosé with a typical hypnotising salmon pink colour. The nose is fresh and fragrant, delicate yet youthful with sophisticated notes of fresh red fruits, peach and subtle flower hints. It offers roundness on the palate and a beautiful aromatic depth, before finding freshness and some minerality in its long and precise finish.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"This rosé stood out for its exuberant fruity charm. From the cool northern reaches of Coteaux d’Aix, comes this very pale creamy white pink. Fragrant aromas of orchard blossom, perfumed pears, apples and fresh citrus, the wine opens out to rich white fruit, pears, ripe white peaches, raw, toasty hazelnuts and ripe concentrated weightiness. Balanced by fresh, well-integrated acidity, this rosé is silky smooth and elegant, the ripe charm of the fruit gives attractive flavour and joyousness."

89/100 points, Elizabeth Gabay MW, DECANTER, May 2025

"A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault from some of the appellation's highest vineyards at 420m above sea level. Delicate and fruity, raspberry and marshmallow spring to mind, the palate following on with a dry, gastronomic character, small red berries but a very clean mineral and lemon finish."

90/100 points, Ton Cannavan, June 2025

"This vibrant and perfumed wine reveals sliced strawberries, grapefruit peel and summer flowers on the nose. Medium-bodied and smooth, it has a sleek, delicate palate filled with crunchy nectarines and pink cherries. The finish is fresh with a light phenolic touch. Drink now."  James Suckling, December 2024
