AIX Rosé - Maison Saint Aix
Tasting Notes
Aroma
The aromatic bouquet is immediately captivating, with an
enticing medley of fresh citrus blossoms, exotic fruits and ripe
pear. Subtle undertones of white peach and apricot interlace with
delicate floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle, creating an
inviting and complex aroma profile.
Appearance
AIX White presents a pale straw color with delicate green
hints, reflecting its vibrant, aromatic, and fresh character.
Palate
On the palate, this wine is refreshingly crisp and perfectly
balanced. Bright flavors of lemon zest and grapefruit lead the
charge, followed by hints of juicy melon and a touch of minerality
that adds depth and character. The mid-palate reveals a pleasing
texture, with nuances of almond and a whisper of honey adding
complexity without overwhelming the freshness.
Vinification
Grapes were harvested in the coolest hours between 4am and 9am to
ensure optimal freshness, preserving delicate aromas and minimizing oxidation risk. The
grapes were directly pressed at less than 1 bar. The must was maintained at 3°C for 5 days
to extract maximum aromatic compounds, followed by fermentation in stainless steel
tanks at 15°C. All transfers occurred in an oxygen-free environment to prevent oxidation,
resulting in a beautiful pale straw color with hints of green.
Food Matching
Perfect as an aperitif, this versatile white also pairs
beautifully with a variety of dishes such as grilled seafood or sushi,
Provençal salads, goat cheese, fish & white meat. Its crisp and
aromatic profile makes it an ideal companion for warm, sunny
days and light, al fresco dining.
Region Notes
Our vineyard, among the highest in altitude within the Coteaux d’Aix en
Provence appellation, benefits from ideal exposure that enhances the production of
aromatic and fresh white wines, complementing the region’s more famous rosé wines.
