Jean Leon 3055 Petit Verdot-Merlot 2024 is an organic, modern, fresh and elegant wine, a perfect example of the successful adaptation of noble French grapes in Penedès.
Jean Leon 3055 Petit Verdot-Merlot 2024 is a red wine made with petit verdot and merlot, with partial ageing in French oak barrels for 2-3 months. This broad, aromatic, smooth and long Penedès wine offers freshness, elegance, marked violet notes, spicy character and balsamic touches.
The story of Jean Leon is one of the most fascinating in Spanish wine. Of humble origins (his real name was Ceferino Carrión), he emigrated to the United States, where he managed to open the most famous restaurant in Hollywood, frequented by major stars. His other great dream was to create a wine bearing his name, and in the heart of Penedès he found the best land to make it a reality. He acquired 150 hectares and replaced the local vines with noble French varieties. By the 1980s, his wines had already achieved international success. Today, this ‘boutique winery’, owned by the Torres family, keeps his legacy alive and produces innovative organic wines.

Jean Leon is a 'boutique winery' founded in 1963 by Jean Leon in the heart of the Penedès. Jean Leon, born in Santander under the name Ceferino Carrión, emigrated to the United States and managed to open the most luxurious restaurant in Hollywood: La Scala, frequented by the biggest stars. His other great dream was to create a wine bearing his name that would live up to his select clientele, and in the heart of the Penedès, he found the best lands to make it a reality. Here, he acquired 150 hectares and replaced the local vines with noble French varieties, becoming a pioneer in introducing grapes such as cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and chardonnay to Spain. He built a winery in the purest "château" style and created the first great 'cabernet sauvignon' of our country.
In 1994, two years before his death, Jean Leon left his winery to his friend Miguel Torres on the condition that he preserve his legacy. Today, under the leadership of Mireia Torres, Jean Leon's wines keep the innovative spirit of their creator alive. The winery has also been a pioneer in obtaining the "Vino de Finca" recognition in the Penedès, the highest accolade a wine can achieve in Catalonia. Moreover, Jean Leon's commitment to sustainability is absolute, producing all wines with organic certification. Currently, it has 65 hectares of vineyards, 39 of which are exclusively dedicated to cultivating its four Vinos de Finca: Vinya La Scala, Vinya Le Havre, Vinya Gigi, and Vinya Palau. Additionally, the winery has launched new wine ranges such as the 3055 range or the experimental limited editions.
