AIX Rosé - Maison Saint Aix
Tasting Notes
Aroma
On the nose, it offers an aromatic and fresh bouquet.
Appearance
The wine dazzles with its enchanting salmon-pink hue.
Palate
The palate reveals
crisp red fruit notes, with distinctive depth and complexity, along
with some spicy nuances from the Syrah. The acidity is beautifully
integrated, providing subtle balance and leading to a long, clean
finish. This rosé showcases a rare freshness, a pronounced mineral
character, and the remarkable quality of the Syrah, making it a truly
exceptional expression of the vintage.
Vinification
Our annual
harvest always takes place in the early morning hours before dawn,
ensuring optimal freshness of the grapes while preserving their
most delicate aromas and reducing the risk of oxidation. This
detailed approach is key to achieving AIX’s signature style—its
radiant salmon-pink hue, delicate red fruit aromas, refined acidity,
and remarkable length.
Vintage Notes
With 150 to 200mm more rainfall than last year, our vines enjoyed a
healthier water balance and reduced hydric stress, leading to improved
grape quality and a promising outlook for the 2024 AIX Rosé. While this
summer did see periods of heat, the shorter heatwave compared to 2023
provided ideal conditions for our Syrah grapes to reach exceptional
maturity, delivering a perfectly balanced and flavorful profile.
Complementing these natural advantages, our team’s dedication—from
manual hoeing to investments in advanced soil-working equipment—
ensured optimal harvest conditions, a commitment that will be evident
in every bottle.
Food Matching
AIX Rosé is the perfect companion to an array of luxurious dishes, elevating the experience
of sharing and savoring fine food. Its crisp acidity and elegant minerality make it an ideal
aperitif, setting the stage for a sophisticated meal. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters,
where the wine’s delicate fruit and minerality complement the briny freshness of the
seafood. AIX’s refined structure also pairs beautifully with silky, lightly smoked salmon or
tender lobster, enhancing their rich textures without overwhelming them. For a more
dynamic pairing, it counters the complexity and spice of Asian cuisine, such as sushi,
sashimi, or even refined tapas with a touch of heat. Whether shared among friends or
enjoyed during intimate moments, this rosé brings harmony to the table, enhancing both
the flavors and the joy of the meal.
