Len de l'El (various spellings have been reported: Len de l'Elh, Len del El, Lendelel, Loin-de-l'oeil ; also known as cavalié or cavalier) is a white French wine grape variety native to South West France.
Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) regulation dictate that the white wines from Gaillac must include at least 15% Len de l'El blended with Mauzac, though there has been movements to allow substitution of Sauvignon blanc (and since 2007 growers have been officially permitted to do so).

Prior to the phylloxera epidemic, Len de l'El constituted more than 30% of all plantings in the Gaillac region.
But the grapes are prone to rot and have been declining in plantings in recent times.
The wines made from the grape are typically full bodied with low acidity but powerful fruit notes.
