    Description of Faugères "Valinière"

    Estate

    Domaine Léon Barral is a leading estate in the Languedoc region, known for its biodynamic and environmentally conscious viticulture practices. This approach aims to produce wines that genuinely reflect the unique high-altitude schist terroir of southern France.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Languedoc region, specifically within the Faugères appellation, the vineyard benefits from characteristic schist soils that impart finesse and depth to the wines. Its south-facing exposure promotes slow and optimal ripening of the grapes.

    Wine

    This 2007 Faugères red is a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, two emblematic grape varieties of southern France that contribute fruitiness, spice, and structured tannins. Certified organic, the wine fully expresses its terroir’s identity.

    Vintage

    The 2007 vintage, marked by a dry and warm summer in Languedoc, allowed great grape maturity, resulting in aromatic concentration and balanced tannins on the palate.

    Vinification and Aging

    Vinification follows the estate’s biodynamic principles, with slow maceration for harmonious extraction of tannins and aromas. Aging in barrels adds complexity and finesse while preserving freshness.

    Blend

    Syrah, Mourvèdre
