Figuiere Le Saint Andre Mediterranee Rose 2017 ML

Figuiere 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.”nnAlain 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.”nnOver a period of 25 years, the Combard Family grew Figuiere to its current size of 210 acres. Additionally, Figuiere produced Le Saint Andre wines using meticulously selected wines. The perfecting touches of maturing and blending are carried out in the Domaine’s Cellars.nnIt is intended as easy-to-enjoy wine with a soft profile made from a blend of Cinsault 25%, Grenache 25%, Syrah 25%, and Cabernet-Sauvignon 25%. A two to three-hour maceration prior to vinification brings a pale melon color to this classic Provençal rose.
