2025 Maison Saint Aix Dry Rose 375ml Half Bottle

375ml Half Bottle.

Overview

Maison Saint Aix's 2025 AIX Rosé brings the dry, fresh style of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence to a convenient half bottle. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault combine in a pale rosé with bright fruit, crisp acidity and a subtle mineral finish.

Made in Provence in southern France, it is an easy choice for a seafood lunch or a small gathering. The 375ml format suits occasions when a full bottle is more than you need.

Vintage & Winemaking

Rain during autumn 2024 and spring 2025 replenished soil moisture ahead of a hot August. Harvest ran from 27 August to 25 September over 17 nights, making 2025 one of the estate's earliest harvests. The varieties were vinified separately before blending, with the juice cold-settled at 0°C before fermentation to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity.

• Night harvesting helps retain the fruit's freshness.
• Separate vinification allows each grape variety to contribute to the final blend.
