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.

Pale peach-colored rosé with aromas of roses, strawberries, melon and cream. Medium-bodied, creamy and fresh. Perfumed and pretty. Dry. Drink now

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.
90 Points, Decanter
The 2022 Hampton Water Rose from the south of France is such an electric wine, people are really going to love it. It’s a lively Rose with tons of personality, with some great minerality, crispness, and bright red fruits. There’s so much energy and tension here as well as a little bit of spice that comes in the end. Everything you’re looking for in a serious Rose.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
93 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
