Maison Saint Aix Provence Rose 2025 vs Small and Small Pinot Noir Rosé 2025

Maison Saint Aix Provence Rose 2025

In 2009, Dutch entrepreneur Eric Kurver founded Maison Saint Aix estate to realise his lifelong ambition to craft the world’s finest rosé. Over a decade later, he and his family have transformed it into one of Provence’s leading producers, championing sustainability and site-specific winemaking. In 2022, Nicolas Quiles joined as winemaker, bringing over 20 years of global winemaking expertise to further refine the house style and uphold the uncompromising quality of AIX’s wines. The grapes hail from one of the highest sites in the Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence. 420 metres above sea level, this 75-hectare vineyard, planted on clay and limestone soils near the Sainte-Victoire mountain, is farmed with a biodynamic approach. Abundant sunshine and cool night-time temperatures preserve natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The Mistral wind mitigates disease pressure during the growing season.
