Description of Faugères "Jadis"

Estate

Domaine Léon Barral, located in the Languedoc region, is known for its commitment to organic farming and expressive wines that reflect the local terroir. This family estate emphasizes a natural and environmentally respectful approach.

Vineyard

The Faugères vineyard benefits from schist soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines. The Mediterranean climate combines heat and cool nights, favorable for grape maturation.

Wine

This 2003 Faugères red is a traditional Languedoc blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. It showcases good aromatic complexity and elegant structure, reflecting the unique climatic conditions of the vintage.

Vintage

The year 2003, marked by an exceptional heatwave, yielded very ripe grapes resulting in powerful and concentrated wines with good density. This vintage is listed in our old vintages selection.

Vinification and Aging

Vinification is done using natural methods without commercial yeasts to preserve terroir expression. Aging takes place in oak barrels to add complexity and balance.

Blend

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Deep garnet red with slightly tawny hues indicating maturity.
  • Nose: Complex aromas of ripe black fruits, soft spices, tobacco, and characteristic mineral notes from the schist soils.
  • Palate: Broad and silky attack, smooth tannins, balanced acidity, long finish with subtle licorice notes.

Serving

Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for 30 minutes is recommended to fully release aromas after several years in bottle.

Food Pairings

Pairs excellently with matured rib steak, herb-crusted rack of lamb, duck breast with red fruits, or a selection of aged Époisses cheese.

Occasions

Perfect for an important business meal, a wedding anniversary, or an evening among mature wine enthusiasts.

Aging Potential

Drink now but will remain pleasant for the next 3-5 years, its solid structure allowing for slight further aging.
