Figuière Signature Magali Rosé

Wine Description

Figuière is located in La Londe-les-Maures between Marseille and Nice with vineyards that lie just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea. “There’s a five-degree difference in temperature from our vineyards to those of the interior,” says Magali, “the freshness found in our wines is very singular to the La Londe region.”

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 in the Côtes-de-Provence. Magali Rosé is part of the “Signature” series, named after Alain Combard’s three children. The Signature series are produced from a blend of estate grown grapes and purchased fruit. Magali currently runs the family business and is in charge of selling and promoting Figuière domestically and all over the world.

Magali is made from a blend of Cinsault 15%, Grenache 25%, Syrah 30%, and Cabernet Sauvignon 30% with a two to three-hour maceration on the skins before vinification in stainless-steel tanks.

Acclaim
”A bright salmon pink in the bottle, this wine is made in an area between Marseille and Nice in vineyards that are just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea. The freshness in this wine is evident from the first swirl of the glass. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is utterly Provençal in style with bright flavors of strawberry, orange peel, and summary white flowers that lead in to a medium-bodied rosé alive with refreshing acidity and a slight salinity from the nearby sea. Enjoy this with crudo of yellowtail with pickled blackberry, lemon and basil.”
— Wine Review Online, May 2017
“This is a pale wine, light in fruit and texture. It is poised and crisp with some attractive red fruits. Lively and fruity, it makes a great apéritif style of rosé.”
