Figui\u00e8re:\u00a0Tour of the vines<\/h1>\n

30 July, 2019<\/p>\n

\n

La Londe-les-Maures<\/p>\n

There is no better place to be mid-summer in France than on the Mediterranean coast in the heart of Provence. \u00a0Contrary to what you\u00a0may think, is actually one of the freshest places to be!<\/p>\n

At just 2km from the sea, crisp\u00a0breezes swoop throughout Figui\u00e8re’s estate, and the many cork and pine trees throughout the property keep\u00a0everything shaded and cool.<\/p>\n

I arrive the day after the annual Figui\u00e8re Festival<\/a> – a weekend dedicated to the arts that takes place each year at the Estate with spectacles of theatre, music, rock concerts, dance, art exhibits,\u00a0and live painting performances.<\/p>\n

I’m greeted immediately by\u00a0sky-high palms and statues crying Hairibo gummy-worm tears –\u00a0the art installation currently on display by artist\u00a0Laurent Perbos<\/a> – without question I know this is going to be a FUN visit!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vintage 2019 Prediction: Blockbuster!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While April was incredibly wet and rainy in Provence (123 mm) during the whole month of May 12.5 mm of rain fell in 3 small episodes. \u00a0 Since then it has not rained and the vegetation has dried up\u00a0inexorably… just before I arrived the undergrowth smelled like pine resin and dust was\u00a0accumulating on the leaves of the vines, which gives us a picture of pale and dehydrated greenery.<\/p>\n

Fortunately Provence is one of the only regions where drip irrigation is permitted, heavily controlled by the local Syndicat, but permitted nevertheless. \u00a0Thanks to this, the vines are\u00a0beautiful. \u00a0In the sub-soil the winter rains were sufficient, and water\u00a0that is brought to the surface has prevented the vines from drying out.<\/p>\n

However, despite healthy foliage the grapes were not getting big, so Figui\u00e8re hoped for rain to improve not just the quantity but also the quality as maturity by concentration is not ideal for making the fine ros\u00e9s that they produce.<\/p>\n

They got their wish and rain it did! \u00a0Magali recounted to me that the Figui\u00e8re Festival almost didn’t happen this past Saturday night – a massive thunderstorm came through between 17h00 and 18h30 – just before opening doors!<\/p>\n

While it made for a quick-thinking, last-minute change of venue for the performances, the rain was more than welcome and needed for the vines.<\/p>\n

At this stage, the harvest date is about three weeks away, because v\u00e9raison is one week behind this year. \u00a0The cicadas also started singing a week later…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Biodiversity – Birds, Bats & Wild Boars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From what the Estate can observe, the newly installed bird’s\u00a0nests have not yet been inhabited to date. There may be 1 or 2 of them\u00a0but nothing conclusive. It’s still early… the birds must\u00a0acclimatize to this environment… and when the bugs come, the birds surely will. \u00a0Since it has been quite dry, Figui\u00e8re has not had the same invasion of catepillars as experienced last year – a good thing!<\/p>\n

As for the bats, they are definitely at the property, but not yet in their homes. \u00a0When the sun is setting, they are diving for their dinner: mosquitos! \u00a0Good to have them around!<\/p>\n

Finally – the wild boars. \u00a0Know as Sangliers in French, these giant 80-100 kg beasts are just as hungry thanks to the dryness and I witnessed them running circles around Figui\u00e8re’s fenced-off organic veggie patch. \u00a0You can hear them thundering around the brushes not far away, looking for any opportunity to find something tasty. \u00a0With vintage coming soon Figui\u00e8re will have to be extra aware they do not eat the grapes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Vines at Figui\u00e8re<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During my visit to La Londe-les-Maures this year, there was an energetic buzz of excitement in the air, and very quickly I found out why.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Figui\u00e8re has grown step-by-step to an estate of 80HA, certified organic.<\/p>\n

As of the last week, the Estate is thrilled to announce that another 30HA have been purchased. \u00a0The new parcel is in the Cotes de Provence appellation, and will be not only used in production for 2019 harvest, but will also be officially declared as the first year for conversion to organic certification. \u00a0The property will be fully organic certified in 2022!<\/p>\n

This is BIG NEWS to celebrate! \u00a0More details will come, but this is a very happy and joyful time for everyone at the Domaine and to share with all Figui\u00e8re wine fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sparkling Soils & Pressing for Finesse<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the hallmarks that makes Figui\u00e8re’s wines so unique is their location in La Londe Cru. \u00a0Of the 4 Provence Crus, La Londe<\/a> is the only one that requires schist\u00a0soils. \u00a0The schist is layered almost like books in bookcases. \u00a0Magali easily cracked off some fragments that sparkled from the glittering\u00a0quartz veins\u00a0in the Provence sun.<\/p>\n

For a few years now, Figui\u00e8re has been the first in Provence to start using a very special press – the Siprem Vacuum Press<\/a>. \u00a0Traditionally used for white grapes, this press uses less pressure than traditional pneumatic presses for a more gentle squeezing cycle on the grapes.<\/p>\n

During harvest time, a balloon of inert argon gas is placed above the press to ensure the grapes have no exposure to oxygen to increase the\u00a0organoleptic profile of the wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Debut of Figui\u00e8re’s Restaurant : l’Assiette<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of all the many projects that Figui\u00e8re is currently taking on, one of the most delicious is the debut of their new seasonal restaurant l’Assiette<\/a>, right at the Domaine!<\/p>\n

Run by Chef Sebastien Liegeard, a member of the\u00a0Combard family, the restaurant features small tapas plates designed to be shared! \u00a0Menu ingredients<\/a> are local and dishes have a regional theme using many of the recipes and flavours particular to the Provence area. \u00a0And, Figui\u00e8re’s estate-produced olive oil is often found on the menu too!<\/p>\n

Dining here is a beautiful way to experience food and wine pairing with the entire Figui\u00e8re wine range! \u00a0The restaurant is open for the entire month of August, and then will be back the following 2020 season starting Easter to mid-September next year. \u00a0If you are in the area, it is a delightfully authentic dining experience not to be missed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This new wine has been a project in the making for a few years now, and the 2018 vintage is ready to soon be released. \u00a0A very small release of 750 magnum bottles will be available of this special artisan series wine.The wine is made of 100% mourv\u00e8dre grapes, a short 10-day whole cluster ferment, then moved to 330L barrels to finish fermentation and age for 18 months. \u00a0This wine had potential to age easily for 10 years in the cellar.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tasting: <\/strong>Despite the playful label, the wine is a serious red full of power and complexity. \u00a0Served with a slight chill, the wine presents black berry, black currants and black plums on the mouth, with just enough tannin that it could easily hold up to dishes of grilled and BBQ meats.<\/div>\n

Pionni\u00e8re 2018 – Gastronomic ros\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The Figui\u00e8re Pionni\u00e8re 2018 is ready for its October debut, just in time for the Fall and important harvest holidays like Thanksgiving! \u00a0A blend of 60% Mourvedre and 40% Grenache grapes, this ros\u00e9 has been aged for 9 months in 2-5 year-old oak barrels. \u00a0As the family’s history is from Chablis, applying this same wine ageing technique as the famed Burgundy white wines, was an easy adaptation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tasting: <\/strong>Tasting this wine truly blind in a black glass would easily place it among some of the finer oak-aged white wines of the world. \u00a0The integration of the wood is incredibly balanced, giving texture to the wine but allowing rich strawberry and white peach fruit flavours to be expressed on the palate.<\/div>\n
