Rosé has always carried an air of leisure and celebration, but few bottles embody the modern spirit of Provence quite like Maison Saint AIX. Known for its luminous pale pink colour, crisp fruit character, and iconic large formats, AIX has grown from a regional favourite to a global symbol of style and generosity. It is wine designed not only to be poured but to be shared, lingering at long lunches, weddings, rooftop evenings, and milestone celebrations.
At Kent Street Cellars, we have curated the AIX range in every size imaginable, from half bottles for a quiet toast to 15L showpieces built for legendary gatherings. Alongside the wines, AIX lifestyle accessories such as beach chairs, ice buckets, and pétanque sets extend the brand’s ethos into the world of entertaining.
This guide explores why AIX has become a modern rosé icon, how to choose the right format, and the accessories that make hosting with AIX unforgettable.
The Spirit of AIX Rosé
Crafted in Provence, the home of pale rosé, AIX is more than just a summer staple. With roots in some of the sunniest vineyards of the region, it balances vibrant red berry fruit with delicate citrus and a crisp, dry finish. The style is refreshing yet structured, which makes it versatile for both casual afternoons and formal celebrations.
