The wine has an aromatic bouquet with notes of fresh red berries and delicate hints of white flowers. On the palate, it is vibrant and balanced, with subtle notes of grapefruit and juicy melon, complemented by a fine mineral edge that adds depth and precision. The finish is long and refreshing.
The grapes hail from one of the highest sites in the Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence. 420 metres above sea level, this 75-hectare vineyard, planted on clay and limestone soils near the Sainte-Victoire mountain, is farmed with a biodynamic approach. Abundant sunshine and cool nighttime temperatures preserve natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The Mistral wind mitigates disease pressure during the growing season.
The carefully selected grapes underwent gentle pressing, followed by a slow, low-temperature fermentation to capture and preserve the wine’s delicate aromas. Ageing took place in stainless steel tanks to maintain purity and highlight the elegance of the fruit.
In 2009, Dutch entrepreneur Eric Kurver founded Maison Saint Aix estate to realise his lifelong ambition to craft the world’s finest rosé.

In 2022, Nicolas Quiles joined as winemaker, bringing over 20 years of global winemaking expertise to further refine the house style and uphold the uncompromising quality of AIX’s wines.
