  • Dry style
  • Fresh red fruit
  • Peach & florals
  • Mineral hints

"Pale salmon-pink. Floral nose backed by sweet spices and fruits in syrup (peach, wild strawberry). Gratifying palate with crisp freshness and fleshy fruit followed by a spicy finish. A supple, energetic and very thirst-quencing style for a festive tapas evening" Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge 2021

"Bright, pale peach-pink, even colour throughout. The nose is gently full and elegant; aromas of subtle strawberries, peaches, citrus interweave white spice and floral fragrance. Medium-bodied, a textural palate with fine-phenolics, displaying aromas of strawberries, peaches, citrus and zest melded with subtle white flowers and spices. The wine is clean and refreshing with a chalky texture; acidity drives to a dry, elegant finish. This is an elegantly classic Provence Rosé as one would expect, dry and refreshing with subtle finesse. Match with cold-smoked salmon and as an aperitif over the next 2-3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Jun 2021

"It's immediately appealing one the nose with apricot, crunchy apple and floral aromas with a hint of sweet strawberry. The palate displays elegant weight and flowing mouthfeel, brilliantly supported by fine texture and juicy acidity. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2021

"Very bright appearance with classic hues of pale onion skin and rose pink. Aromas are also classic with scents of peaches and fresh red apple, roses and a distinctive powdered granite soil complexity. Refreshingly crisp and fruity on the palate with flavours of peach, lemon and apple. A very fine fruit tannin layer and reminder of granite soil flavour add depth while the rose and lifted freshness add charm. A lovely example with so many applications from aperitif to salads to oysters or just on its own. Best drinking upon purchase and through summer 2022" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2021

"Another standout rosé from Provence, this pale pink wine by AIX is a delicate combination of fruity notes, like watermelon and strawberries. It's a rich and refreshing taste you'll want to sip as you partake in 'rose all day'" Lauren Hubbard, Town and Country Magazine, 30 Bottles of Rosé To Try This Summer, May 2021

"Aix is a wine made for sharing, and comes in larger formats, from the regular 75cl bottle all the way to a 15L nebuchadnezzar (that’s the equivalent of 20 bottles FYI). The panel found the blend of grapes injects a freshness, comprising of white peach, nectarine and lemon, perfect for sipping as an aperitivo" Stacey Smith, Elle Magazine, 16 Best Luxury Rosés To Drink All Summer Long, Jul 2021

A lovely pale, salmon pink colour with beautiful, shiny reflections. The nose is quite delicate, fruit-forward, clean and complex, with notes of fresh red fruits, peach and some subtle floral hints. AIX Rosé 2020 offers roundness on the palate and a beautiful aromatic depth, before finding freshness and some minerality in its long and precise finish.

Aside from a few sharp cold snaps, winter was generally mild and dry across the estate. Rainfall in March and April adequately refilled the water ables, allowing the vines to pull through a hot, dry summer ensuring their continued growth. From the end of May onwards, the weather became significantly warmer and dryer, furthering the vine’s development. Flowering and fruit-set happened quickly, with good quality bunches of grapes. The bracing Mistral wind played its role in keeping the vineyard healthy. These conditions have helped accelerate grape growth by some 10 days compared to average. Our grapes displayed a perfectly balanced ripeness and had reached optimum quality at the time of harvesting.

September 3rd marked the start of our harvest: selected parcels of Grenache were picked first, followed by the gathering of Syrah and Cinsault. September offered exceptional weather conditions for the grapes: sunny afternoons and cool evenings. These excellent conditions gave us the chance to stretch our harvest over time and wait for wellbalanced grapes, thus resulting in fruit of the highest quality. Grapes were harvested during the coolest part of the day between 4am and 10am to ensure optimal freshness of the grapes, conservation of the aromas and to reduce the risk of oxidation.

AIX Rosé 2020 offers a solution for many desires. AIX is an intense and complex wine that has become the fine-dining rosé at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. At the same time, AIX is an accessible and generous wine that has won over hearts as the aperitif of choice at some of the most fascinating, festive and desirable venues worldwide.

Food Pairing: Excellent match with salmon, lobster, oysters, light salads, refined tapas, Asian cuisine
