A beautiful wine shop located under the Cours Mirabeau, an exclusive address with a great selection of wine, champagne and spirits. Take a minute to admire the magnificently carved door of the Arbaud-Jouques building before walking down to the wine shop with its vaulted ceilings and old Provencal stones. The best place to buy a bottle of wine to enjoy after a long day of tourism.

We visited on Saturday to get an entry level into Aix Wine. Whilst you may not try much wine it was great for us as a couple talking all things wine and there were some pleasant surprises of the 3 that we tried. We have book it via Viator and I had mistakingly booked the week early before we arrived, so it was kind to be told my tickets were valid the next week no issue. We loved it there so much so we brought a few to drink during our stay. Our lady Justine was kind, knowledgable and friendly. We returned today but she wasn’t there to pick up wines she spoke to us about. It’s lovely to see the various customers come in the shop and buy their regular wines. They stock so many high quality bottles. Clean, beautiful and friendly place. See you next time!

Rose et Marius store and products are incredible. They are the quintessential experience from Provence. Customer service was super warm and professional (they shipped what we brought to our home and took care of VAT reimbursement) We booked “l’Atelier”, an hour + session on fragrances and how to make your own home fragrance, that you walk out with. Totally loved it.
