| Description: | 50% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 20% Cinsault. Domaine Leon Barral is a beacon of revolutionary winegrowing: shortly after founding the domaine, Didier decided that biodynamic practices were the best choice for farming his thirty hectares of vineyards. Tremendously powerful, complex, and age-worthy wines inflected with an earthy mineral note from the schist soils of Faugres. Most of Didiers vines get full southern sun exposure; in this Mediterranean climate where summer heat waves and drought are constant during the growing season, pruning in the gobelet style shelters the grapes from the blistering sun. Most of his vines are very oldsome up to ninety years of agekeeping yields naturally low. Once in the cellar, Didiers harvest is cared for with the same zeal, although he would consider the wine all but finished once it leaves the vineyard. This level of artisanship was once nearly extinct, had it not been for Didier and the profound influence he is having over other viticulteurs who now see how his work ethic and ideology translates to results. |
