Figuiere 2023 Premiere Cotes De Provence Rose

Winemaker Notes

A blend of two of our three terroirs: La Londe, on micaceous schist with a flaky, quartz-veined appearance, and Barbeiranne, on hard, smoky-gray clay-limestone mixed with pink or yellow dolomitic layers, marl-limestone and marl of the same color.

A year punctuated by unforeseen climatic events. Winter was marked by an exceptional drought. In the end, however, this prevented the premature budburst that above-average temperatures seemed to promise, by eliminating any risk of exposure to a late frost. The rains of May and June reassured us by reducing the risk of water stress. On the other hand, the pace of rainfall increased sanitary pressure, with differences from one sector to another, forcing winegrowers to react quickly to protect their vines.

Draped in a luminous light melon-pink robe this wine offers an intense aromatic bouquet of elegant notes between tropical fruits reminiscent of pineapple and warmer notes such as orange blossom, vanilla and perfectly ripe yellow peach. The palate is built on finesse. It is smooth and silky. It shows both generosity and delicacy. It develops volume, a fleshy consistency punctuated by impressions of acidic freshness, citrus and minerality.
