    Description Faugères

    Estate

    Domaine Léon Barral is a renowned family estate in the Languedoc region, known for its commitment to producing authentic wines that express the local terroir. The Barral family practices organic farming with meticulous attention to quality and biodiversity.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Languedoc wine region, the vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate and schist soils typical of the Faugères appellation. This terroir imparts characteristic minerality and freshness to the wines.

    Wine

    The Faugères Domaine Léon Barral 2020 is an elegant and structured red wine, primarily made from Grenache. It showcases the rich aromatic profile typical of the terroir while maintaining balance and refinement.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage benefited from favorable weather conditions allowing optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in an excellent quality wine with good aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    The vinification was conducted using traditional methods, with careful maceration to extract aromas and tannins in a balanced way. The aging was done in concrete tanks to preserve fruit freshness and purity.

    Grape Variety

    Grenache
