Product Notes

Jean Leon Vinya Gigi Chardonnay is a distinctively captivating vintage originating from Catalonia, Spain. Revered for its vibrant, creamy texture and exceptional complexity, this wine offers rich notes of vanilla, ripe fruit, and wood, underlining its ageing in French oak barrels. Its bleach blonde hue and beautifully balanced acidity make each sip a delightful experience. Pairing impeccably with seafood and poultry dishes, it's ideal for fine dining occasions or simply savouring on a cosy evening in. A lush bottle of Vinya Gigi guarantees an elegant and refined contribution to any wine collection.

Tasting Notes

Bright, clean straw yellow in colour. A powerfully aromatic nose, combining primary aromas of pineapple and peach with touches of spiced and lactic notes and final hints of Mediterranean flowers. A persistent palate thanks to its good acidic balance, with a long, elegant mid-palate and a balanced, lush finish.

About the Winery

Jean Leon

Jean Leon winery, nestled in the heart of Catalonia's Penedès wine region, is a beacon of exceptional viticulture that embodies the pursuit of quality and innovation. Established in the 1960s by the adventurous and ambitious Jean Leon, the winery has carved out a remarkable reputation for its dedication to producing high-end, single-vineyard wines.

Jean Leon, originally from Santander, Spain, was a pioneer in his field, determined to trailblaze new paths in Spanish winemaking. After a colourful past which included stints as a taxi driver and waiter in Hollywood, he channelled his passion into forming an estate that celebrates terroir-driven wines, drawing from international varieties favoured by connoisseurs worldwide. The winery's production focuses on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, presenting a bold departure from the traditional cava production synonymous with the region.

The winery, striking in its modernist architecture, is nestled amidst rolling vineyards that spread out beneath the rugged Montserrat mountain. Additionally, an on-site restaurant aims to provide an immersive gastronomic experience, pairing Jean Leon wines with local cuisine that celebrates the diversity of the region's produce.

Jean Leon winery was also one of the first wineries in Spain to be granted its own 'Vino de Pago' designation, an accolade reserved for wineries that consistently produce wines of exceptional quality within their specific microclimate. Continually pushing the envelope, the winery is proud to be fully organic, ensuring that their winemaking methods are not only beneficial for the environment but also contribute to the production of unique, expressive wines.

With its legacy of innovation and a persistent quest for excellence. Jean Leon Winery invites wine aficionados and novices alike, to not just taste their accomplished wines but to also explore the fascinating journey of their legendary founder. This is indeed an encounter with unique winemaking that is as engaging as it is delightful.
