让·莱昂‘Vinya Le Havre’赤霞珠珍藏

‘Le Havre’ single vineyard is an historical plot, the 1st Cabernet Sauvignon ever planted in Spain, all the way back to 1968. That was the dream of Angel Ceferino Carrion Madrazo (who later changed his name to Jean Leon), who made fortune after moving from its native Spain to the US in 1949 (from the French port of Le Havre, which gave its name to the vineyard), 1st to New-York where he was a taxi driver, then to Los Angeles. There, after a few different jobs, he opened ‘La Scala’ Restaurant in 1956, who quickly become an iconic place amongst the elite. In early 1960s, missing his our town, and desiring to showcase their wines, he setup his own winery in a remote location in the heart of Catalunya, in a region which will become later the ‘Penedes’ DOC appellation.

Le Havre is a block of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small part of Cabernet Franc. The vines are organically-grown, handpicked and aged in French & American oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, followed by a minimum of 2 years bottle ageing in the estate. The wines showcase great purity and exceptional ageing potential.
