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”. Over a period of 25 years, the Combard Family grew Figuière to its current size of 210 acres. Additionally, Figuière purchases grapes from contracted growers to produce their Côtes-de-Provence Signature series. The Signature series is produced from a blend of estate-grown grapes and purchased fruit.

Valérie White is part of the “Signature” series, named after Alain Combard’s three children. Valérie is Alain’s youngest daughter. Valérie is made from a blend of Ugni Blanc, Rolle, and Sémillon vinified entirely in stainless-steel tanks.
