AIX Coteaux D'Aix En Provence Rosé 2020, Provence, France
I first tasted AIX rosé in Europe several years ago and more recently in the USA and New Zealand. Each time I have been impressed by the consistency and energy in the wine. From May this year and again this week the wine and style continues to impress.
Wine Very bright appearance with classic hues of pale onion skin and rose pink. Aromas are also classic with scents of peaches and fresh red apple, roses and a distinctive powdered granite soil complexity. Refreshingly crisp and fruity on the palate with flavours of peach, lemon and apple. A very fine fruit tannin layer and reminder of granite soil flavour add depth while the rose and lifted freshness add charm. A lovely example with so many applications from aperitif to salads to oysters or just on its own. Best drinking upon purchase and through summer 2022.
