Figuière Première Rosé

Figuiere Premier Rose Bottle

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 and minerality found in our wines is very singular to the La Londe region.”

Première Rosé is organically grown and produced entirely from the Figuière estate in the Côtes-de-Provence AOP. The goal of Première Rosé is to express the unique terroir found at La Londe where Figuière is located. A blend of Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Grenache with a short two to three-hour maceration on the skins.

Acclaim
“The estate-bottled, certified-organic 2020 Cotes de Provence Premiere is a clear step up from the négociant-style Magali Signature. A blend of 35% each Cinsault and Grenache with 30% Mourvèdre, it's a pale, coppery hue in the glass, with scents of crushed stone, peach, alpine strawberries, and lime zest. Medium-bodied, fresh and zippy, with a lingering, citrus-riddled finish, it should drink well for at least the rest of this year and possibly well into 2022.”
— Wine Advocate, Jul 2021
“This wine is rich, full of red and citrus fruits that give a dense, fresh character. The ripeness, layers of young acidity and perfumed fruitiness suggest the wine could age a few months more. Drink from late 2021. Suitable for vegans. Organic.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2021
