"Cuvée Coup de Cœur Hachette year after year!

"The years come and go for Figuière, to the delight of lovers of good southern rosés. A favorite in its 2019 version, this cuvée does just as well with the 2020. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvèdre with a flattering, persistent nose of citrus (grapefruit) and yellow fruit. The fruit remains intense, generous and persistent, with a smooth, round mouthfeel that retains a pleasant freshness right through to the finish. A majestic rosé". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

This is one of Provence's most famous estates. It belongs to the Combard family, who manage this 85-hectare estate, 30 hectares of which are leased. The vines, located on the seafront in schistose soil, have been grown organically since 1979. We are currently in the process of converting everything to biodynamic viticulture. We welcome this commitment, which is no easy task for an estate of this size. While the wines are one of Provence's best-known assets, the family also goes to great lengths to welcome visitors, and during the summer months offers a cultural program well worth the detour.

About the wine:

One year follows another for Figuière, to the delight of lovers of fine southern rosés. A favorite in its 2019 version, this cuvée does just as well with the 2020. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvèdre with a flattering, persistent nose of citrus (grapefruit) and yellow fruit. The fruit remains intense, generous and persistent, with an unctuous, round palate that retains a pleasant freshness right through to the finish. A majestic rosé.

About the domain :

Located in the commune of La Londe-les-Maures, overlooking the Golden Isles, Figuière has belonged to the Combard family since 1992. Today, Magali, Delphine and François are at the head of this 85-hectare vineyard, which has been organically farmed for 40 years.
