    Description Faugères "Valinière"

    Estate

    The Domaine Léon Barral is renowned for producing authentic and carefully crafted wines in the Languedoc region. The estate emphasizes traditional methods while respecting the environment. Its wines are often praised for their faithful expression of the terroir. The estate's approach focuses on quality and typicity.

    Vineyard

    Located in Languedoc, the vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate with mainly clay-limestone soils. The vegetation is managed for controlled growth, resulting in ripe, balanced grapes. Organic or biodynamic practices are often adopted to enhance vineyard health and wine character.

    Wine

    This 2020 Faugères red wine displays a deep, intense color. It offers a complex aromatic profile with black fruit notes, spices, and a mineral touch. The ample structure on the palate is complemented by a persistent finish. It pairs well with hearty dishes or can be enjoyed with patience.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage was exceptional in the region, producing wines that are both concentrated and balanced. It resulted in wines with good ripeness, freshness, and aromatic expression. Favorable weather conditions during harvest contributed to the quality of the final product.

    Vinification & Aging

    Grapes are fermented in tanks with precise temperature control. The aging takes place in oak barrels for several months, adding structure and complexity. Careful management of maceration and cellar work ensure finesse and robustness. Bottling occurs after a meticulous blending process.
