La Mariole Ledogar MAGNUM 2019

La Mariole Old Vine Carignan Ledogar MAGNUM, biodynamic wine, rich, very elegant Carignan. This wine is in particular fantastic value natural red wine, made from 100 year old vines of Carignan and fermented wild with virtually no sulphur and no fining or filtration. Exceptional depth and freshness, it will age very well indeed but even in youth, simply lovely. The Magnum will age for 10 years easy!

Domaine Ledogar is a 22 hectares estate on the Terroir of Corbieres Boutenac – near Carcasonne – laboured on by two brothers Xavier and Mathieu, winemakers for 4 generations.

Xavier Ledogar, who has always loved nature, started working in the vineyards when he was 12. In 1997 he took over the Domaine on his own and built a new cellar to start making his own wine rather than selling the fruit to the cooperative in the age old French peasant tradition. From the outset, Xavier has been committed to Biodynamic production, eschewing all chemical and mechanical inputs to the point that they even use horses and donkeys for ploughing and natural weed killers! Pure wines of great character are the result, a must try for lovers of southern French wines.
