Le Figuier
WINERY OVERVIEW
In the past 15 years, Saint André de Figuière has become one of the leading estates in
Provence, known for producing that quintessential style of rosé that only the terroir and idyllic
vineyards of the Mediterranean landscape can evoke. Selected by the Combard family from
Saint André de Figuière, Le Figuier is a Craft + Estate exclusive.
LOCATION OF VINEYARD
The grapes are sourced from two different terroirs: the first, schist soils in the Massif des
Maures mountain range with a strong maritime influence, where the vines tend to ripen earlier;
the second, a mix of clay and limestone soils in the center of the Var with a more pronounced
continental climate and vines that tend to ripen later. On average, the vines range from 15 to
25 years old.
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
Each of the varieties are harvested and vinified separately in thermo-regulated stainless steel
tanks. The wine is racked after alcoholic fermentation and fined. After the final blending, the
wine is filtered and bottled in mid-February. The end result is a blend of 30% Syrah, 30%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Grenache, and 15% Cinsault.
