In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Vibrant and nervy, this blend lands with crisp citrus and melon flesh, underpinned by almond and minerality that refuses to fade. Citrus blossom and stone fruit notes emerge from the Rolle backbone, sharpened by Sauvignon Blanc's lemon zest and grapefruit snap, with delicate floral aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle from 10% Grenache Blanc. The crystalline length stays clean and bright — classic Provence refinement without the weight. An acid backbone of 6.5g/L keeps the wine precise and food-friendly.

The Winery — Maison Saint Aix

Founded in 2009 by Dutch entrepreneur Eric Kurver, the estate has grown into one of Provence's leading producers through uncompromising quality and sustainability. Winemaker Nicolas Quiles joined in 2022, bringing over two decades of global expertise to refine the house style further. The vineyard operates under biodynamic and sustainable practices, a long-standing commitment that shows in transparency and balance. The 2025 vintage presented challenging conditions; grapes were harvested at night to preserve aromatic depth, then fermented cold and handled in oxygen-free conditions — careful, thoughtful winemaking at every turn. Born from vineyards at 420 metres near Sainte-Victoire, one of France's highest-altitude sites, the wine draws its mineral spine from cool nights and Mistral winds.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine built for the table rather than the cellar — an easy match alongside grilled seafood, oysters, butter-poached shellfish, white fish, and lighter vegetarian dishes. The wine's acid backbone keeps pace with rich sauces without breaking stride. Drink young and cold, allowing the freshness and precision to shine. It rewards weeknight suppers and summer gatherings alike. If you're exploring Vermentino & Rolle or seeking wines that deliver both pleasure and character, this Rolle-led blend belongs in your glass.
