The 2022 vintage paints a picture of the future Provencal climate and how sustainability practices will define the future of wine growing in the region. 2022 was the driest year in France since records began 500 years ago. Thankfully the high elevation and sustainable wine-growing resulted in the best vintage in years.
"We knew the heat would affect both potential aroma and acidity, so these were our key focus points at both harvest and later in the cellar" says Eric Kurver. Our harvest timing was essential in retaining freshness, and an extra gentle winemaking approach at every point ensured the classic bright red fruit characteristics AIX is renowned for.

High up in the hills just north of Aix-en-Provence, away from the heat of the coast, you’ll find a set of ancient stone gates. Beyond them lies the Maison Saint Aix estate. Here, we dedicate ourselves to capturing the essence of this iconic terroir in a single premium rosé.
Made for those who know how to appreciate wine. And for those who know how to appreciate life.
With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sunshine a year and the cooling Mistral winds, Provence provides the ideal growing conditions for Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, the classic blend used to make AIX Rosé. Maison Saint Aix is one of the largest domains in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation. At 420 meters above sea level, it is also one of the highest. And at that height we enjoy cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, where the vines are restored on dewy mornings, which only benefits the fruit.
The 50-60 year old Grenache vines of the domain ensure a wine of the highest quality, while the fruit from the younger vines provides freshness. To maintain harmony, 4 hectares are replaced every year by new vines.
Rosé makes every occasion feel effortless. From intimate moments together, to an elegant gift, to celebrating the biggest moments of our lives, AIX distinctive bottles come in every size you can imagine – from the regular 75cl bottle all the way to a 15L Nebuchadnezzar. AIX is made to be shared.
