Rouge et Clair and La Mariole.

Two of our most beloved cuvées from the brothers Ledogar.
The two are fourth generation winemakers, with the kind of have this typical story of taking over their parents' 22 ha estate, ceasing sales to the local co-op, vastly improving the quality, and converting to biodynamic agriculture. Voilà, the makings of a "young" winery with generations of history (not to mention vines of Grenache and Carignan that go back to the 1880s) to inform the manifestation of the brothers' fresh ideas. The results are just good, solid wines that I rely on every year as a backbone for our portfolio. Consistent, never too far from the terroir, but always exciting. I love these wines and these winemakers. We know you do too, so please don't wait to let us know how much you'll need.
