Figuière Familie Combard

It was in Burgundy, in the 1970’s, that the roots of our winegrowing family were formed. For 25 years, Alain Combard, developed with his friend Michel Laroche what would become one of the finest houses in Chablis: Domaine Laroche.

An aviator, sailor and insatiable explorer, Alain decided in 1992 to try a new adventure in winemaking. He set course for his native Provence. When he discovered Domaine Saint André de Figuière, he fell in love immediately. Its 18 hectares had already been farmed organically since 1979: a bold choice by its previous owner, André Connesson, an avant-garde agricultural engineer.

Alain moved in with a strong desire: to surprise with his whites, he the Burgundian! But it didn’t take long for him to become deeply convinced that a rosé from Provence deserved the equal attention of a white. A perfect alchemy was born between his Chablis know-how and this Provence terroir, still little recognized. The Figuière style was born!
