and a subtle spice

and full of energy

It’s this multi-vintage layering that gives the wine its signature depth: baked apple

Leon Barral, Faugeres "Valiniere", 2019 maximilien and a subtle spiceLon Barral crafts this Faugres from old Mourvedre (80%) and Syrah (20%) vines on schist soils, farmed biodynamically since the 1990s. The Valinire cuve represents his purest expression of terroirno added sulfur, native yeasts, and minimal intervention winemaking. This approach yields wines of remarkable depth and authenticity with good aging potential.
