Born from the marriage of Burgundy and Provence, FIGUIÈRE’s sober, racy style draws its strength, natural elegance and minerality from an astonishing schist terroir. Pared-down, sincere, no-make-up winemaking contributes to the production of taut wines, combining power and finesse, balance and aromatic richness.
Produced organically, Première is a rosé in all its delicacy, with a beautiful pale pink color tinged with gray. The nose is beautifully fruity, with notes of pineapple, apricot, nectarine and lychee, accompanied by herbes de Provence, pepper and nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied and crisp, with strawberry and pepper dominating the aromas. The finish is harmonious, fine and very long, with spices and a saline note.

Première is a rosé wine that surprises with its pure, mineral style and seduces with its deep, long, dense aromatic richness. In this way, the domaine has chosen a subtle, universal and timeless style that appeals to wine lovers and connoisseurs alike.
For its new vintage, the estate is offering its Cuvée Première a new bottle with sleek, fluid lines. Italian glassmaker Italesse is coordinating the creation of this iconic new bottle, in collaboration with designer Luca Trazzi and traditional glassmakers. Blown in extra-white glass to highlight the wine’s color, and stamped with a discreet “FIGUIÈRE” at the base, this container is a true technical achievement hidden behind the apparent simplicity of its line.
