Winery - Domaine Saint-André de Figuière
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A deliciously fresh but ripe wine, intense in red fruit flavors, elegantly touched with acidity and flavors of wild strawberries and a light tannic structure. The aftertaste is full, but packed with vibrant acidity.

A nice example of 100% Rolle (Vermentino), this boasts plenty of melon and pink grapefruit aromas and flavors, marrying roundness and ripeness with freshness and focus. A touch of almost chalky mineraility comes in on the finish.

This full-bodied, richly textured rosé is wonderfully aromatic and floral, with dried spices, plums and cherries all mingling on the nose. Made from 80% Mourvèdre, it behaves almost like a good red wine, but with extra zest and freshness. You could sip it on its own, with white meats or even burgers or steaks.

A fresh rosé, so crisp, bright and lively. This is real pleasure, the red berry fruits bursting out of the glass, lifted by delicious acidity. Very crisp, pure in taste.

Ripe and full, soft in texture and rich. The wine has spice along with the red apple, apricot and sweet strawberry flavors. The softness takes the dryness away.

Made entirely from Rolle, with a portion fermented in 300-liter demimuids, this slightly oily, honeyed wine features hints of toast, almond and anise to go with ripe stone fruit and grapefruit flavors. Long on the finish.

The domaine bottling of Saint-André de Figuière really ratchets up the quality over its négociant wines, adding much more weight and concentration. This blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 25% Cinsault blends black cherry and citrus flavors into a richly textured, spicy rosé.

Predominantly Mourvèdre (90%), this is a dark, plummy wine with hints of the variety’s characteristic mushroomy and tree bark notes. Some cinnamon and vanilla from new oak barrels rounds out the wine, giving it an appealing softness and velvety feel to the finish. Drink now–2015.

Full-bodied, ripe wine, very food friendly with its tight texture, bitter red cherry flavors and acidity. The balance is just right between freshness and richness.
