AIX Rosé – Premium Provencal Rosé of Top Quality

The AIX Rosé is one of the most beloved premium rosé wines, alongside iconic names such as Minuty, Grandrosé and Miraval. Thanks to the continuous attention of the AIX team in the vineyards, a harvest of outstanding quality is harvested every year. This refined Provençal rosé is produced with care and ferments slowly at an exceptionally low temperature of only 12°C. Thanks to the continuous attention of the AIX team in the vineyards, a harvest of outstanding quality is harvested every year.

This dry and elegant rosé offers a perfect balance of freshness and fruity aromas. In the taste you will taste ripe red forest fruits, cherries, strawberries and fresh figs, while the nose is seduced with notes of ripe mandarins, raspberries and wild strawberries, complemented by a subtle hint of spices.

The Saint AIX Wine Estate of AIX Rosé

The prestigious Saint Aix wine estate covers 85 hectares, of which 75 hectares are planted with carefully selected grape varieties. The rosé and red wines are made from Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, while the white wines are composed of Rolle, Ugni Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc.

Located just 20km east of Aix-en-Provence, at an altitude of 350 metres, the 136-year-old Domaine Saint Aix benefits from a unique terroir. Originally known as Domaine La Grande Séouve, it took its current name after Eric Kurver took over the vineyard.

The vineyards are situated on a gently sloping terrain, sheltered by a ridge on one side and a forest on the other. The Mistral wind from the north acts as a natural protection against diseases, while more than 2200 hours of sunshine per year ensure optimum ripening of the grapes. During the day the grapes enjoy warm Mediterranean sunshine, while the cool nights contribute to a refined acidity and a perfectly balanced ripening process.

What wine lover hasn't ever mused about owning your own vineyard? The enthusiastic Dutchman, wine connoisseur and enthusiast Eric Kurver succeeded. He has been living in the South of France with his wife and three children for years and is the lucky owner of the AIX wine estate.

His wine estate covers no less than 85 hectares, of which 75 hectares are planted with vines with the grape varieties Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache, Counoise, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah for red and rosé. Rolle, Ugni Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc for the white wines.

About 20 kilometers east of the capital of Provence, Aix en Provence, at an altitude of 350 meters, we find the 136-year-old domain here in a beautiful rolling landscape. The original name is Domaine La Grande Séouve, but since Eric took over, the name has been renamed Domaine Saint Aix.

The vineyard is located on a beautiful gently sloping terrain with a small ridge on one side and bordering a forest on the other. The Mistral from the cooler north occasionally passes here and functions as a natural protection against any diseases in the vineyard. More than 2200 hours of sunshine per year give the grapes a lot of heat during the day, the cooler nights ensure a balanced ripening process.

Eric mainly produces rosé, which is of course not surprising in Provence. This has been the birthplace of rosé for 2600 years. That rosé is sold under the name AIX. A beautiful slim bottle with an assembly of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Counoise. This results in a fresh, dry and almost pale and salmon-like rosé with a very pleasant long finish. Here you can taste Provence; berry fruit, plums, caramel and a little spicy but very balanced taste, sun and ripeness in a delicious glass. This rosé can compete with the very best…..

Chilled at about 10 degrees, this rosé is excellent as an aperitif or with a light lunch with fish, salad or with tapas, white meat and tasty pastas. Gone are the days when rosé was only drunk on the terrace in the summer. Rosé can easily be drunk all year round and also tastes great with Asian cuisine.

AIX rosé won the Gold Medal in 2010 and 2011 at the prestigious “Concours Générale Agricole de Paris”, the largest wine tasting in France by experts. The inspectors of the French Ministry of Agriculture confirm the unique quality of AIX Rosé. A unique achievement by Eric and his winemaker - oenologist Olivier Nasles, this has never happened before.
