Located in Languedoc in the hamlet of Lenthéric, Domaine Léon Barral has been managed since 1990 by Didier Barral, the son of Léon Barral, assisted by his brother Jean-Luc. The vineyard extends over 35 hectares, planted on very steep schistous hillsides facing south and sheltered by the foothills of the Cévennes. Here, a cultivation method has been implemented that respects the natural environment and its biodiversity, by choosing to promote interactions between the vine and soil life, which aims to strengthen the immunity of the vine.

The TOP winemakers of Languedoc

At Domaine Léon Barral, the vines are weeded by a herd of cows, the tractor has been replaced by a mule, the soil is rich in earthworms, and there are even grape worms, flies, bird nests, and toads… All of this allows for a very authentic expression of the grape, without any chemical or synthetic additives. Even the cellar was dug directly into the schist of the hillside, following an architecture of arches and vaults in carved stone and lime. Everything promotes air circulation for wine aging and storage, and the beaten earth floor maintains a cool temperature. The estate offers 4 wine cuvées, 3 in AOC Faugères (Languedoc reds) and 1 in vin de France (Languedoc white). In red wine: the Tradition cuvée in AOC Faugères is made from a blend of 60% carignan, 30% grenache, and 10% cinsault, and comes from the steep schist slopes of the appellation (aged exclusively in tanks). The Faugères Tradition from Leon Barral presents powerful, spicy, gamey, and floral notes. Faugères Jadis from Leon Barral: this elegant cuvée is produced with 50% old carignan, 40% syrah, and 10% grenache. It benefits from 2 years of aging in old oak barrels. The nose is intense and indulgent with blackcurrant and blueberry, enhanced by leather, black olives, and garrigue herbs. The palate is full-bodied, with freshness and a silky finish. A very beautiful wine emblematic of the AOC Faugères. The Faugères La Valinière cuvée from Domaine Leon Barral is made from 80% mourvèdre and 20% syrah, and benefits from 36 months of aging in old oak barrels. Its profile is more intense and ripe, with notes of blackcurrant, cherries, faded rose, mocha, pepper, and licorice. Its power and density are extraordinary. It is recommended to wait at least 5 to 7 years before approaching La Valinère from Léon Barral. In white wine, the Terret blanc cuvée (in Vin de France) is made from 80% terret blanc/gris, 10% roussanne, and 10% viognier. It offers beautiful freshness and deep minerality but must be kept cool, as it has no added sulfur. With a very golden, almost orange color, its nose is very intense, with notes of almond and apricot pit, garrigue herbs, and flower honey. The palate is rich and full-bodied but lively and tense with a long finish on smoked yellow fruits. The wines of Domaine Leon Barral represent today one of the most accomplished expressions of Languedoc. However, it is advisable to aerate them well before consumption, as some reduction notes can sometimes confuse certain enthusiasts.
