Figuière - Côtes de Provence Première rosé 2023
89/100
RVF
"A truly elegant wine, this Première vintage features notes of summer peach and a long, briny finish!"
This rosé combines elegance, a rich, luscious body, and a briny character. This rosé cuvée reveals a highly expressive nose, with exotic aromas of pineapple, lychee, and fresh apricot intertwined with notes of white pepper and nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied, beautifully fruity, harmonious, and refined, accentuated on the finish by briny notes. A rosé worthy of the appellation’s finest!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
This is one of the most famous estates in Provence. It belongs to the Combard family, who manage this 85-hectare vineyard, 30 hectares of which are leased. The vines, located along the coast on schist soil, have been cultivated using organic methods since 1979. Steps are currently underway to transition the entire estate to biodynamic farming. We applaud this commitment, which is no small feat for an estate of this size. While the wines are among Provence’s most reliable offerings, the family also goes the extra mile in welcoming visitors and, during the sunny days of the season, offers a cultural program well worth the visit.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
This wine evokes the crystalline Provence of the Lalonde-Les Maures terroirs, of which it was one of the first examples. The grayish hues of its color are the hallmark of this very distinctive 2023 vintage: deep, spicy, with a desirable salinity on the finish. (La RVF No. 682, July–August 2024)

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on August 20, 2024
A masterpiece of finesse, right down to the elegance of its bottle. Less showy than the 2022 vintage, Première remains an elegant and delicate rosé, with the 2023 vintage featuring floral and herbaceous flavors against notes of crushed strawberry and white peach. Well-balanced and refreshing, the palate is full-bodied, with a smooth, silky texture, supported by natural acidity and a briny minerality. The invigorating and mouth-watering finish is enhanced by a subtle hint of bitterness. Refined from start to finish, Première is the perfect choice to pair, after an aperitif on the terrace, with delicious langoustine tails roasted in olive oil with saffron-infused citrus. Rating = 4.
