The common claim
What’s commonly claimed, and what the evidence supports
The Kirkland Signature Côtes de Provence Rosé names its own maker. The back label reads 'produced in the Côtes de Provence Appellation by Olivier Sumeire' and 'Bottled by Château Élie Sumeire,' and both the Costco Wine Blog producer roundup and wine-press reviews credit Olivier Sumeire — the 8th-generation vintner of the Sumeire family of Provence (Château Coussin, Trets). Costco imports it to the US through Misa Imports. Roundup articles that hedge about who makes Costco's Provence rosé overlook the producer statement printed on the bottle.
Evidence & sources
Each source is graded on the six-tier evidence rubric, where tier 1 is strongest. Sources are archived, so a citation still works if the original page moves or goes behind a paywall.
Tier 4
Reviewer transcribes the 2025 Kirkland Signature Rosé back label: 'Kirkland Signature Rosé is produced in the Cotes de Provence Appellation by Olivier Sumeire, an 8th generation grape grower and vintner … Olivier Sumeire – Winemaker. Bottled by Chateaux Elie Sumiere. 12.5% Alcohol,' and notes 'It is imported by Misa Imports.' A direct on-label producer statement naming Olivier Sumeire and the Château Élie Sumeire bottling.
Tier 4
Producer roundup lists 'Kirkland Signature Côtes de Provence Rosé: Olivier Sumeire' and states the wine 'is produced by Olivier Sumeire' of the Provence winemaking family — independent tier-4 corroboration of the back-label producer statement.
Tier 6
The family winery's own site identifies the 'Sumeire Family, winegrowers in Provence' based at Château Coussin, 'the Sumeire's family birthplace,' in Trets — establishing Olivier Sumeire (named on the Kirkland label) as a member of an established multi-generation Côtes de Provence producing family, not a négociant fantasy name.
