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

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Deep garnet red color with slight tawny reflections, indicating well-managed maturation.
  • Nose: Aromas of ripe black fruits, fine spices, garrigue notes, accompanied by subtle leather and forest floor nuances.
  • Palate: The tannic structure is elegant and well-integrated, with good concentration and a persistent finish marked by spicy and mineral notes.

Serving

Serve at 16-18°C. Decant for one hour to fully release its aromatic potential.

Food Pairings

Dry-aged rib beef, herb-crusted rack of lamb, Périgord black truffle accompaniments, and matured cheeses such as Époisses or 24-month aged Comté.

Occasions

Important business dinners, wedding anniversaries, intimate holiday celebrations.

Aging Potential

This wine can be enjoyed now but will continue to evolve gracefully. The optimal drinking window is expected between 2024 and 2030.
