VT Archaique Ledogar 500ml 2010

VT Archaique Ledogar 500ml, Mourvedre, biodynamic dessert wine. Delicious biodynamic dessert wine made from Mourvedre grapes which are left to dry on the vine and harvested in November. This concentrates the sugars in the grape and produces an intense, sticky red wine. Rare, fine and fantastic with blue cheese.

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 donkets for ploughing and natural weed killers! The wines are stunning, so full of life and flavour and so full of deep dark fruit intensity and body.
