Domaine Figuière Confidentielle White 2023

The domain

Figuière covers 125 hectares in the Côtes de Provence appellation. The estate cultivates around ten grape varieties in La Londe-les-Maures on schist and quartz soil. This family estate is now known as a must-visit in Provence.

From Saint André de Figuière to the Combard family

Domaine Figuière first belonged to a priest named Saint André de Figuière, from whom it takes its name, before being bought in 1992 by the Combard family. This family began cultivating vines in Burgundy before settling in Provence with the desire to raise Provence rosé to the same level as white wine. A few years ago, Alain Combard handed over the management of Figuière to his children Delphine, François and Magali. In this way, he is passing on his expertise and continuing the family tradition while giving it a new lease of life.

Figuière: A love of the terroir of La Londe wines

Since 1979, the Figuière vineyard has been farmed organically and is Ecocert certified. Chemical pesticides and weedkillers are therefore prohibited, fertilisers are organic and manure is turned into compost to ensure that practices remain as natural as possible. Finally, green harvesting is carried out in July and clover has been planted every other row to prevent soil erosion. The estate also enjoys optimal sunshine, temperature regulation thanks to the sea, and 35-year-old vines that bear the strong imprint of the La Londe terroir.

The Figuière vintages (AOC Côtes de Provence)

From the outset, Figuière wanted to create its own style that is both simple and luxurious, but also pure and elegant. Saint André de Figuière offers several ranges, including Premiere, Signature with the star rosé Magali and Confidentielle, all under the Côtes de Provence La Londe appellation. It offers excellent Provence wines that are representative of their terroir, with beautifully lively and fruity rosés. The reds show great complexity with spicy notes, vegetal aromas and a beautiful structure on the palate. The whites are refreshing with beautiful fruity and floral aromas.
