    Producer

    The Domaine Léon Barral vineyard is planted on clay-schist soils, characteristic of the Faugères region. These poor, well-drained soils allow the vines' roots to penetrate deeply, drawing up essential nutrients. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, promotes optimal grape ripening. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from abundant sunshine while being sheltered from the wind by the surrounding hills. This harmony between soil, climate, and the expertise of the estate team creates wines of great expressiveness.

    Owner and history

    Today, the estate is run by the Barral family, who carry on Léon Barral's legacy with passion and dedication. The owners are deeply committed to sustainable viticulture, striving to preserve the local ecosystem and promote biodiversity. They ensure that every stage of production is in harmony with nature, crafting wines that tell the story of their terroir. Their commitment to authenticity and quality results in wines that captivate wine lovers worldwide.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Léon Barral is carried out with respect for tradition and biodynamic practices. The grapes, carefully harvested by hand, are destemmed before being fermented in open vats. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, allowing the terroir to fully express itself. Aging takes place in oak barrels, where the wine develops its complexity and character. No sulfur is added during the process, thus preserving the purity of the aromas. This artisanal approach guarantees authentic wines that reflect the identity of Domaine Léon Barral.
