Bonjour!<\/span><\/p>\n

We have just finished the last wine salon of the season – a very successful VinExpo 2019!\u00a0 It\u00a0was announced at the end of the fair that\u00a0this was the last time it will be hosted in Bordeaux! \u00a0VinExpo is merging with Wine Paris, and we will see all our French wine fans at VinExpo\u00a0Paris\u00a0February 10 – 12th, 2020<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

During this VinExpo\u00a0salon with Figui\u00e8re, we took the\u00a0opportunity to interview winemaker Fran\u00e7ois\u00a0Combard and long-time Figui\u00e8re chef\u00a0de cave Damien Pag\u00e8s\u00a0about news and developments at Figui\u00e8re, and what an exciting series of projects we have to share with you all!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the report!<\/p>\n

    Figui\u00e8re\u00a0Season Update –\u00a0Winter 2018\u00a0to Spring\u00a02019<\/span><\/h1>\n

    Early 2019 vintage season has started very windy – a\u00a0fabulous natural help to ensure a very healthy state in the vineyard!<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, sometimes a little violent, the Mistral did some damage to the fragile vines at the beginning of the vegetative cycle for the Vermentino.<\/p>\n

    This wind is all the more beneficial this year as it has rained a lot: 750 mm of rain since October. The rains were soft and regular, no violent storms, so the soils drained well and the water tables filled up again. Winter was mild, and Spring was early with a noticeable cooling at the end of March.\u00a0\u00a0If all continues on schedule, flowering should take place at the end of May.<\/p>\n

    However, a successful harvest is all but guaranteed.\u00a0\u00a0The current state\u00a0of the vines show that there is strong pressure from mildew, and vigneron Fran\u00e7ois is on the alert while he watches the vineyard carefully.<\/p>\n

    Soil work is extremely important at Figui\u00e8re. \u00a0Last Fall, seedlings of rye (for mulching) and vetch (for nitrogen supply) were planted.<\/p>\n

    Fran\u00e7ois wants to have a vegetation cover crop as long as possible to promote the life of microorganisms, soil freshness and moisture retention. Straws of rye can contain up to 15 times their volume!<\/p>\n

    The 5 ha tested last year will be tested again this year, however it is complicated to optimize mulching because rye shoots can grow quite high and sometimes reach heights too tall to lay down over the soil.<\/p>\n

    Organic Pest Control with Mother Nature’s winged\u00a0<\/strong>creatures<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you remember, we told you in our 2018 end-of-harvest newsletter about a new budworm that had hit the vineyard.<\/p>\n

    It’s cryptobladesse: it’s a moth. Normally it lives in North Africa, but the milder winters of recent years have favoured its migration to our region of Provence. This caterpillar is usually sensitive to cold temperatures and normally winters put an end to this risk.\u00a0\u00a0However, these caterpillars spend the winter in the dried grapes remaining on the vines from harvest.<\/p>\n

    They like sugar and will feed when the veraison period comes. This caterpillar develops about 2 to 3 weeks before the harvest, when it attacks the grapes, it creates a hole that leads to the development of rot. It is a potential scourge that must be contained.<\/p>\n

    The Figui\u00e8re estate is under organic cultivation and Fran\u00e7ois, who is always observing what is happening in the vineyard, wanted to find a natural way to fight these budworms. \u00a0The idea was therefore to find predators for the insect\u2019s two different life cycles: the butterfly and the caterpillar.<\/p>\n

    For the caterpillars, Fran\u00e7ois has installed nesting boxes to house the M\u00e9sanges, a European\/North African caver-nocultural bird that has no nests and use the holes in trees or old walls to make a home with a little moss. On the 10 ha of vines most affected by the budworm last year, 10 nesting boxes per ha were installed on the vine stakes.<\/p>\n

    The chickadees make small migrations, those who live in Provence in winter migrate to the North of France in the summer and those who come to Provence in summer come from the South of Italy. It is a bird that breeds 3 times a season with an average of 6 to 8 birds per brood. However, there is a 75% loss and only 4 to 5 chicks will survive.<\/p>\n

    What is interesting is that the m\u00e9sanges live about 3 years and return every year to the breeding grounds of the previous year. By installing these nesting boxes, the estate encourages the establishment of biodiversity over time.<\/p>\n

    The nesting boxes were installed in mid-February to receive the m\u00e9sanges and the estate hopes for an 80% occupancy in 2 years.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    To fight butterflies, as they are moths, the estate has installed bat nesting boxes! There are 10 nesting boxes around the vines.\u00a0\u00a0Their life expectancy is longer and the bat pair reproduces one baby one per year, but without mortality. Here again, these animals are loyal to the habitat sites and the bats installed this year are expected to return next year.<\/p>\n

    In parallel, the domain will do counts to study the life cycle of this budworm: 4 pheromones are being tested this year. They attract the butterflies\/moths that stick to trap surfaces. Traps are regularly surveyed to count the number of butterflies and anticipate attacks.<\/p>\n

    Vintages 2018<\/strong>
    \nThe vintage was hot, humid and not very windy, an exception for the region!
    \nThe wines are very fresh, and very gourmet.\u00a0\u00a0We have a balanced, aromatic vintage with gourmet fruits.<\/p>\n

    Confidentielle 2018 <\/strong>Blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourv\u00e8dre with more Mourv\u00e8dre than the premi\u00e8re ros\u00e9.\u00a0<\/em>The grapes come from a selection of schistose parcels with outcropping schists. The harvest is 10 days later than the harvest of the Cuv\u00e9e Premi\u00e8re. \u00a0The nose is ripe with juicy strawberries and fleshy yellow peaches. The same fruits continue on the palate, but with a herbal garrigue note and a touch of quince and white grapefruit zest. Minerality is also evident on the palate with a fuller texture, round mouthfeel, and nice refreshing acidity. This is a gourmet wine, definitely meant to pair with food.<\/p>\n

    Premi\u00e8re 2018 <\/strong>Blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourv\u00e8dre<\/em>
    \nVery fresh and crisp acid with a white pepper prick on the tongue. Just ripe strawberries, and juicy ripe white raspberries are explosive from the glass in the bouquet, and continue in harmony with juicy watermelon on the mouth. Texturally the palate has a nice zest that finished with a rich round texture.<\/p>\n

    Magali\u00a02018 <\/strong>Blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon<\/em>
    \nMagali Ros\u00e9 is a pleasurable, medium-bodied ros\u00e9 with aromas and flavors of strawberries, orange peel and white flowers. The refreshing character of Proven\u00e7al ros\u00e9 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 crudit\u00e9s and anchovy sauce, marinated red bell peppers and a crudo of sea bass with lemon and peppercorn.<\/p>\n

    Le St Andr\u00e9 2018\u00a0<\/strong>Blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon<\/em><\/p>\n

    Le Saint Andr\u00e9 Ros\u00e9 is intended to be light, invigorating and easy-to-enjoy. Aromas and flavors of peach, orange skin and white flowers are accented by refreshing acidity and a salty minerality thanks to the influence of the sea.<\/p>\n

    Cuv\u00e9e Pionni\u00e8re \u2013 Formerly Cuv\u00e9e Absolu –\u00a0<\/strong>
    \nThe wine is still maturing, in 300 and 500 litre barrels of several woods. It is a blend of Mourv\u00e8dre and Grenache vinified and matured separately and in barrels.\u00a0The tastings on fut are very promising with a very nice mouth texture, a high fat content and a complex and elegant fruit. \u00a0A very small quantity will be produced with the 2018 vintage with 2400 to 300 bottles.<\/p>\n

    Atmosphere 2017\u00a0<\/strong>Assemblage Grenache (45) \/ Cinsault (45) and Rolle (10%)<\/em>\u2013 Rolle is added as the chilled grape juice for the second fermentation.
    \nWe find an expression of finesse in the bubbles, carefully aged in bottle yet preserving its pink colour that shines with flecks of peach skin
    \nA sparkling wine that is balanced between freshness and roundness, that finishes elegant, fruity and dry. 100% Certified Organic.<\/p>\n
