Taste & Critical Acclaim: Figuière aims for tight wines that express the unique terroir of coastal Provence. Magali Rosé is a medium-bodied rosé with aromas and flavors of strawberries, orange peel and white flowers. The wine shows bright and refreshing acidity and salty minerality thanks to the influence of the nearby Mediterranean Sea.

Packed with rich fruit alongside a layer of caramel, this ripe wine has flavors of red berries and apricots that are cut with grapefruit. Its full texture makes it easy to enjoy in the near term.
Pairing: The refreshing character of Provençal rosé with its bright acidity and moderate level of alcohol make it the ideal partner to the simply prepared cuisine of the Mediterranean. Serve this wine with crudités and anchovy sauce, marinated red bell peppers and a crudo of sea bass with lemon and peppercorn. We were inspired by the thought of this rosé with anchovies and just had to share Martha Rose Shulman’s pissaladière-inspired Lavasha Pizza with Onions and Anchovies.
About. 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. Since the purchase of Chateau Barbeiranne in 2019, Magali Rosé is 100% Estate. Magali currently runs the family business and is in charge of selling and promoting Figuière domestically and all over the world. Not a small task, but a joyful one. After all, their estate overlooks the Iles d'Or off the French Riviera, nestled in that 210 acre vineyard that has been organic for almost 40 years, and family-owned at that.
Their Domaine captures the vast aromatic complexity of this irreplaceable protected natural environment, all its mineral potency and inspiration to craft signature wine collections steeped in tradition yet driven by innovation. Sun-drenched wines that express a love for the land of Provence.
