Yesterday I tasted the new vintage of AIX Rosé and oh my goodness, it’s delicious! Intensely fruity and wonderfully fresh; this is spring in your glass. And to make it even more delicious: to celebrate the launch of AIX Rosé 2022, five-star hotel Sofitel Legend The Grand in Amsterdam is serving a special package in Oriole’s beautiful courtyard garden.

First things first: what makes AIX rosé 2022 so delicious? It’s not only down to the winemaker’s touch, but also to the climatic conditions during this growing and harvest season. The Provençal summer of 2022 was incredibly dry, but fortunately there was enough rainfall in winter and spring to get through the summer. The nights in late summer were cool, and together with the expertise in the vineyard, this ensured that the grapes reached optimal ripeness in early September, with a balanced acidity.

Gold medal

The result: a wonderfully fresh, soft pink rosé infused with red fruit. The new AIX Rosé 2022 even received its first gold medal last February, awarded by the renowned French wine guide Gilbert & Gaillard. And to top it all off, AIX developed its own collection of rosé glasses to celebrate the 2022 edition: the Riedel Veloce Rosé. A tall, slender and elegant wine glass in which the rosé’s aromas come into their own even better.

The Grand AIXperience

Is your mouth watering already? Then definitely read on, because The Grand AIXperience could be just the thing for you. To launch the new AIX Rosé 2022, The Grand is serving a special package in its lovely and intimate courtyard garden. The package consists of various bites that pair perfectly with the freshly released rosé.

You can choose how festive you want to make it. A glass of wine costs 11 euros, while a bottle of wine with six bites costs 99 euros. The package is served from 21 March through 21 June 2023. Reservations for the AIX package at Sofitel Legend The Grand can be made via the website.
