FEATURES
🏰 The 2013 Domaine Léon Barral Faugères Jadis is a "sensational" wine from the Languedoc, known for its biodynamic viticulture and authentic expression of schist terroir. This blend, primarily Carignan with Syrah and Grenache, offers a much more aromatic and complex profile. Expect killer notes of ripe blackcurrants, lavender, garrigue, cured meats, pepper, iron, iodine, and sour cherry. The palate is layered, sexy, and concentrated with sweet, well-integrated tannins, a voluminous and powerful mouthfeel, and a persistent finish with a slightly mentholated acidity. Despite the vintage's potential for leanness, this wine maintains an appealing rawness and incredible balance. 【Sensational expression of schist terroir】
🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This robust and aromatic red wine is superb with grilled beef with porcini sauce, hearty stews like hare civet, or rich Mediterranean lamb dishes. It also complements strong, aged cheeses.
🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal for a rustic yet refined dinner, a gathering of food and wine enthusiasts, or as a unique gift for those who appreciate natural and biodynamic wines.
