The Story
Emilie Blanc's love affair with rosé began on a limestone terrace in Aix-en-Provence, where her grandmother poured the first glass that would change her life. That pale, luminous wine—tasting of wild strawberry and crushed stone—sparked a passion that has taken her from the vineyards of southern France to the forefront of Australian wine education.
After completing her WSET Diploma, Emilie spent over 10 years studying under winemakers in Provence's three appellations: Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, and Coteaux Varois en Provence. She has tasted over 2,000 Provençal rosés and consulted for leading Australian wineries on rosé production.
She founded Emilie Wine Club—Australia's first rosé house dedicated to Provençal wine culture. Through tastings, events, and education, Emilie is building a community of Australians who understand that rosé is not just a summer drink, but one of the world's great wines.
