Figuière Première Red
Wine Description
Figuière is a 210-acre organic wine estate located in La Londe les Maures. Alain Combard purchased the property in 1992 after discovering its cool coastal climate and unique schist soils. “The schist in La Londe seduced my father,” says Alain’s daughter Magali, “schist and the sea make our style.”
Figuière is in La Londe-les-Maures between Marseille and Nice with vineyards that lie just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea. “There’s a five-degree difference in temperature from our vineyards to those of the interior,” says Magali, “the freshness found in our wines is very singular to the La Londe region.”
Première Red is organically grown and produced entirely from the Figuière estate in the Côtes-de-Provence AOP. The goal of Première Red is to express the unique terroir of La Londe and the unique character of Mourvèdre grown near the sea. A blend of 60% Mourvèdre and 40% Syrah vinified separately in 300L French oak barrels and aged for 8 months.
