Aix is one of the few brands in the world where a producer is just as well known as the region – in this case, both are incredibly special. Here, the vineyards are sprawled high up in the hills over 400 meters above sea level, one of the highest in all of Provence. They have outrageously minerally soil there, 300 days of sunshine a year on average and an extraordinarily high amount of natural morning dew, making their fruit even more stinking delicious than it already was.
Here, the unrelenting dedication into making some of the world’s most premium Rose using the traditional Provencal grapes of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah have put not just the winery firmly in the world’s spotlight, but brought the whole sub-region of Provence along for the ride.
This year, like every year, the Aix Coteaux d’Aix comes highly recommended. Whether it outshined and outscored a famous Bandol Rose for the top spot on the Wall Street Journal list or the 90-point score it just got from James Suckling (what will be the first of many this year if history continues).
There’s a lot to love if you’re a Rose fan– a super fresh and lifted nose of peach, tangerine, cherry and hints of flowers, with a high-toned pristine palate of ripe peach, strawberry and orange blossom with some beautiful mineral notes and a long and precise finish. It really is the belle of the ball and the quintessential springtime treat.

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.

“Scented nose with dark cherries, blueberries, dried thyme, plums, bark, roasted meat and baking spices following through to a medium to full body with finely grained tannins. Elegant and textural with a velvety core of juicy and crunchy berries on the mid-palate mingling with herbs and spices in harmony. Well-composed with a precise long finish.” -James Suckling
At 350 feet above sea level, growing seasons are often extended with warm days and cool, breezy nights. The diurnal changes of temperature help create healthy vines and grapes that are packed full of complexity, concentration and energy. Ain’t a whole of Provence wineries that can compare. We’ve offered Val de Caire’s spectacular Provence Rouge before, but their bread and butter wine, the Coteaux d’Aix en-Provence Rose has finally been imported into the U.S. for the first time. People are gonna go nuts for this wine.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
