Domaine Léon Barral

Domaine Léon Barral is located in the hamlet of Lanthéric, and is run by Didier Barral, a man of conviction who settled on the estate in the early 1990s and has never ceased to seek the most authentic expression of his terroir. His viticulture is sustainable, respecting the ecosystem, encouraging interaction between the plant and animal kingdoms, and reinforcing the vine's immunity.

The 25-hectare Domaine Léon Barral vineyard is rooted in schist slopes sheltered by the Cévennes foothills. The vines are pampered, weeded and smoked by a herd of Jersey cows that graze from October to mid-April. As the owner of the estate is wont to say, "the wine begins to be made when the pruning shears are placed on the wood". Harvesting is done by hand, and vinification follows a process that respects and delivers the most authentic expression of the grape. The quality of Domaine Léon Barral wines has earned them a place on many gourmet tables.
