Leon Barral

Wines from the Léon Barral estate: buy at the best price

Located in the Languedoc in the hamlet of Lenthéric, the Léon Barral estate has been managed since 1990 by Didier Barral, the son of Léon Barral, assisted by his brother Jean-Luc. The vineyard covers 35 hectares, planted on very steep, schist hillsides facing south and sheltered by the foothills of the Cévennes. A farming approach has been implemented here that respects the natural environment and its biodiversity, by choosing to promote interactions between the vine and the life of the soils, with the aim of strengthening the vine's immunity.

The TOP winemakers of Languedoc

At the Léon Barral estate, the vines are weeded by a herd of cows, the tractor has been replaced by a mule, the soil is rich in earthworms, and there are even vine moths, flies, bird nests and toads… All of this helps to achieve a very authentic expression of the grape, with no chemical or synthetic additives whatsoever. Even the cellar was carved directly into the schist of the hillside, following an architectural style of arched arcades and stone-cut vaulted ceilings with lime. All of this promotes air circulation for the ageing and storage of the wine, while the beaten earth floor helps to maintain a cool temperature. The estate offers 4 wine cuvées, 3 under the AOC Faugères appellation (Languedoc reds) and 1 as a Vin de France (Languedoc white). In red wine: the Tradition cuvée under AOC Faugères is made from a blend of 60% carignan, 30% grenache and 10% cinsault, and comes from the steep schist hillsides of the appellation (aged exclusively in tank). The Faugères Tradition from Leon Barral displays powerful, spicy, gamey and floral notes. The 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 ageing in old oak barrels. The nose is intense and indulgent, with blackcurrant and blueberry, complemented by leather, black olives and garrigue herbs. The palate is broad, fresh and has a silky finish. A truly beautiful wine emblematic of the AOC Faugères. The Faugères La Valinière cuvée from the Leon Barral estate is crafted from 80% mourvèdre and 20% syrah, and benefits from 36 months of ageing in old oak barrels. Its profile is more intense and ripe, with notes of blackcurrant, cherry, faded rose, mocha, pepper and liquorice. Its power and density are exceptional. We recommend waiting at least 5 to 7 years before opening La Valinière from Léon Barral. In white wine, the Terret blanc cuvée (as a Vin de France) is made from 80% terret blanc/gris, 10% roussanne and 10% viognier. It offers beautiful freshness and deep minerality, but must absolutely be kept chilled, as no sulphur has been added. With a very golden, almost orange colour, its nose is very intense, with notes of almond and apricot kernel, garrigue herbs and flower honey. The palate is rich and broad, yet lively and taut with a long finish of smoky yellow fruits. The wines of the Leon Barral estate represent today one of the most accomplished expressions of the Languedoc. It is nevertheless advisable to decant them well before drinking, as some reductive notes can occasionally surprise certain enthusiasts.
