Description of Faugères

Estate

Domaine Léon Barral is a prestigious estate in the Languedoc region, renowned for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. This environmentally conscious approach aims to highlight the terroir's unique qualities through authentic and expressive wines.

Vineyard

Located within the Faugères appellation, the vineyard benefits from schist soils that provide excellent drainage, essential for high-quality grapes. The altitude and sun exposure promote slow and complete ripening of the Grenache grapes.

Wine

This 2018 Faugères is an organic red wine mainly produced from Grenache. It reflects the robust and elegant character typical of the Languedoc, with aromatic complexity stemming from rigorous grape selection.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage was marked by good ripening conditions due to generous sunshine despite a cold spring. The result is a dense wine with intense aromatic profile and balanced structure.

Vinification and Aging

Vinification is performed with care respecting organic principles to allow controlled tannin extraction. Aging in tanks preserves the freshness and aromatic expression of the Grenache.
