Jean Leon 3055 Merlot 2021 (Case 6 x 75cl)

Region: Penedès, Cataluña, Spain

Vintage: 2021

Bottle size: 6 x 75cl

Grape: Merlot

ABV: 14%

Dark cherry red with medium-to-high depth of colour. Remarkably intense on the nose with predominant aromas of black fruit intermingled with toasty notes, black pepper, and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. Voluptuous on palate entry, with lovely acidity and a long elegant finish.

It is the winery's freshest and most daring range. It pays tribute to its founder and his origins, and it conveys all the energy, rebelliousness and youth of a Ceferino Carrión full of dreams and hopes to share. The number 3055 represents Jean Leon's taxi driver's licence in New York and reveals the man behind the legend, the humble origins of an idealist who achieved his dream of founding the most luxurious restaurant in Hollywood and making a wine bearing his name.

Jean Leon wines were the precursors of what we now call Chateau or Single Vineyard wines. In 2008 the Jean Leon winery began applying organic farming methods and from the 2012 vintage onwards all of their wines have been labelled as certified organic. Jean Leon entrusted his legacy to the Torres family in 1994 and since then the winery has stayed true to the philosophy of its founder and kept fighting tirelessly for his dreams.
