Villa AIX Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose

Winemaker Vins Bréban on the winery

“We are Vins Bréban, a family-owned wine business from Provence, dedicated to making wines that express the character of southern France in an approachable way. Drawing on our knowledge of the region, we work with grape varieties suited to the Mediterranean climate and local soils. With Villa AIX, we aim to capture the familiar charm of Provençal rosé: a pale colour, delicate aromas and a palate that remains smooth and refreshing. We look for a balance between fruit, roundness and freshness. The result is a rosé that feels equally at home on a sunny terrace or alongside a meal.”

And on Coteaux d'Aix en Provence, France

“Our Villa AIX comes from the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellation, in the western part of Provence. The vineyards grow on soils where clay and limestone play an important role. We blend 60% Grenache, 35% Cinsault and 5% Syrah. Grenache brings fruit and roundness, Cinsault contributes finesse and freshness, while Syrah adds colour and character. On the nose, we find floral notes and white peach. The palate is smooth and harmonious, with a lively freshness on the finish. It is a classic Provençal rosé with a soft, fruity style.”
