The 2024 Maison Saint AIX Dry White is a fresh Provence blend of 60% Rolle (Vermentino), 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Grenache Blanc from Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence. The nose shows pear, white peach and citrus blossom with lemon zest, jasmine and honeysuckle. Fruit is sourced from the estate’s elevated vineyards, where limestone soils and the Mistral influence help retain freshness.
On the palate, it is dry and vibrant with lively acidity and flavours of lemon, grapefruit, quince and white fruit. A subtle almond note and mineral edge add texture, leading to a crisp, clean finish. Fermentation and maturation in stainless steel preserve the wine’s aromatic fruit and bright Provençal character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy crisp Mediterranean whites with citrus, stone fruit and mineral freshness. Enjoy young and chilled, or over the next few years. Pair with grilled prawns, oysters, white fish, goat’s cheese salad, sushi or roast chicken.
