Figuière Confidentielle Rosé
Wine Description
Figuière is a 210-acre organic wine estate located in La Londe, a sub-appellation of the Côtes-de-Provence AOP. 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.”
Confidentielle Rosé is the top bottling estate-grown rosé from Figuière. It is a full-bodied rosé from organically grown grapes produced from a blend of Mourvèdre 50%, Cinsault 25%, and Grenache 25% with two to three hours of maceration before vinification in stainless-steel tanks. Confidentielle is a gastronomic rosé with bright acidity and a salty mineral note making it ideally suited for the table.
