Figuière Première Rosé

Figuière Première Rosé 2021

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
“A perennial top performer, Figuière's 2021 Cotes de Provence Rose Premiere is a blend of 45% each Cinsault and Grenache, plus 10% Mourvèdre. Made entirely in stainless steel, it offers bold scents of red berries, white peaches, melon and citrus. It's an expressive, silky-textured and medium-bodied effort with enough concentration to think it will drink well into next year.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2022
“Brilliant salmon-skin color. Potent, mineral-accented red berry, citrus zest, succulent herb and floral scents show fine definition and spicy lift. In a lithe and vibrant style, offering juicy strawberry, blood orange and lavender flavors that slowly deepen as the wine gains air. The long, focused finish leaves suggestions of bitter citrus pith and red fruit notes behind.”
