Description of Faugères "Jadis"

Estate

Domaine Léon Barral is a renowned estate in the Languedoc, known for its biodynamic approach and pursuit of authentic terroir expression. Situated in the Faugères appellation, the estate produces rich and profound wines that reflect the unique minerality of the region.

Vineyard

The vineyard is located on the hills of the Languedoc, with soil mainly composed of schist, contributing to the mineral complexity of the wines. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm dry summers and cool nights, favors the ripening and freshness of the grapes.

Wine

This 2001 Faugères red is a classic blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. Syrah provides structure and spice, Grenache brings roundness and fruitiness, while Mourvèdre adds power and aromatic complexity. The wine exemplifies balance among the varieties from a demanding terroir.

Vintage

The 2001 vintage experienced favorable climatic conditions allowing excellent grape maturity. The wine has since evolved beautifully, with softened tannins and rich aromatic complexity thanks to aging.

Vinification and Aging

Traditional vinification with controlled extraction followed by aging in oak barrels to structure the wine while preserving aromatic freshness. This aging confers complexity and remarkable length on the palate.

Blend

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Deep red with tawny highlights indicative of its age and evolution.
  • Nose: Aromas of ripe black fruit, soft spices, leather and forest floor notes, with a characteristic minerality from the schist terroir.
  • Palate: Generous and silky, unfolding flavors of black plum, licorice, and a persistent slightly spicy finish with supple, well-integrated tannins.

Serving

Serve at 16-18°C. Decant for one hour to fully reveal the aromas and soften the wine.

Food Pairings

This Faugères pairs excellently with a matured ribeye steak, herb-crusted rack of lamb, well-aged Époisses, or roasted pheasant with morel mushrooms.

Occasions

Ideal for important business meals, wedding anniversaries, or special evenings among refined wine enthusiasts.

Aging Potential

At its peak, to be enjoyed within the next 3-5 years to appreciate the perfect balance of maturity and freshness.
