The organic red wine Jean Leon 3055 Petit Verdot - Merlot perfectly captures the youthful, playful, and cosmopolitan character of the winery’s most urban range. The number 3055 pays tribute to the New York taxi license Jean Leon operated before chasing success in Hollywood. Crafted under the DO Penedès designation, this unique blend pairs the boldness and structure of Petit Verdot with the seductive, smooth charm of Merlot. The result is a vibrant, modern signature red completely free of clichés—fresh, profoundly fruit-forward, and tailor-made for those seeking a contemporary, eco-conscious pour.
Tasting Note
In the glass, it shines with a very bright and intense cherry-red color, showing a medium-high coat adorned with lively violet hues that speak of its youth and vitality. The nose immediately activates with an explosion of crisp red and black fruits, led by ripe blackberries, dark plums, and wild strawberries. As the wine breathes, the strong personality of Petit Verdot emerges through elegant floral notes of violet, delicate sweet spices, and a delightful balsamic backdrop reminiscent of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is pure freshness, agility, and approachability. The entry is luscious and deeply fruit-driven, leading into a fluid mid-palate where the round texture of Merlot beautifully cushions the core muscle of Petit Verdot. Tannins are wonderfully smooth and polished, backed by a crisp, citrus-like acidity that injects a fantastic rhythm into the wine. The finish is clean, long, and exceptionally refreshing, leaving a trail of red berries and subtle black pepper that easily invites you to take another sip.
Groundbreaking Pairings
Gourmet Beef Burger with Aged Cheddar and Sweet Fig Jam
The urban soul of this wine effortlessly adapts to premium street food. The intense fruit core cuts through the rich cheddar cheese, while the fig jam mirrors the natural sweet notes of the Merlot grape beautifully.
Traditional Cochinita Pibil Tacos with Pickled Onions and Lime
A striking match of contrasts. The vibrant floral elements and crisp acidity of Petit Verdot stand up perfectly against the Mexican spices and pork marinade, leaving a wonderfully fresh and clean feel on the palate after every bite.
Glazed Turkey Skewers with Teriyaki Sauce and Toasted Sesame
Asian culinary exoticism finds its ally in this young red. The sweet-and-sour glaze of the teriyaki melts into the wine's ripe fruit descriptors, while the toasted sesame elevates the subtle wood nuances from its short aging.
