In the rugged schist hills of Faugères, Didier Barral has quietly built one of the Languedoc's most compelling estates, where ancient vines and biodynamic principles converge to create wines of remarkable authenticity. His "Jadis" represents the essence of this distinctive appellation, where the Mediterranean climate meets mineral-rich soils to produce wines of both power and finesse.

The blend speaks to Faugères' traditional character: fifty percent Carignan anchors the wine with its earthy backbone, while thirty percent Grenache adds warmth and generosity, and twenty percent Cinsault contributes aromatic lift and elegance. These vines, ranging from forty to seventy years old, have developed the deep root systems necessary to express the terroir's unique personality. Barral's commitment to natural winemaking extends to his cellar practices, where the wine ages in cement and stainless steel, preserving the fruit's integrity while allowing the terroir to speak clearly.

This is Barral's flagship expression of Faugères, representing both the appellation's potential and his philosophy of minimal intervention. In a region often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors, Domaine Leon Barral demonstrates why Faugères deserves serious attention from collectors seeking authentic expressions of southern French terroir.
