Rosé 2025
Trade Tools
France / Provence
Maison Saint Aix is situated in the vineyards of a 140-year-old domaine at one of the highest elevations in the region. The Mistral wind keeps grapes dry and healthy. AIX Rosé is produced in the typical Provençal style using the direct pressing method. To avoid oxidation, the grapes are cold soaked and chilled to 46˚F. The grapes are destemmed, pressed and macerated at low temperatures for 5-6 hours. Each variety is fermented separately at low temperatures to preserve aromas. AIX uses cold stabilization. The wine is kept on the lees in a closed tank with a neutral gas for one week at 35 degrees. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks for 2-3 weeks before bottling.
Harvest Note
Rains during autumn 2024 and spring 2025 recharged the water levels in the soil and created ideal conditions for vine growth, even as Provence experienced one of the hottest Augusts in recent years. With no frost episodes, the vines thrived and delivered fruit of exceptional quality. The harvest was one of the earliest in the history of Maison Saint Aix. The resulting fruit showcases a beautiful balance and the clear expression of the high-altitude terroir.
Tasting Note
A hypnotizing pale pink color with notes of citrus zest, white peach, red berries, and a hint of wildflowers. Refreshingly crisp and dry with a mineral finish.

About the Grape
Cinsaut
Ripe and meaty over elegant, with rose and almond notes, Cinsault’s relatively low tannins typically relegate it to blends with other varieties, as with Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel Rosé.
Grenache
Grenache is loaded with dense, lusty aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackcurrant, jam, pepper and licorice, with a palate-coating texture and high alcohol.
Syrah
Syrah has seductively dense, rich, chewy black berry aromas and flavors, with notes of tar, wood smoke, bacon, leather, chocolate, and sometimes violets. The tannins are firm yet elegant.
