2023 Domaine Ledogar 'La Mariole' , Corbieres, France

Century-old Carignan vines produce a wonderfully vibrant, dark-fruited and juicy wine, buoyed by fresh minerality. Domaine Ledogar is helmed by two brothers, who converted the family domaine to organic/biodynamic almost immediately after taking over in the '90s, opting to bottle their own wine instead of selling fruit to the local co-ops. Horses plow the vines, and grazing donkeys are the natural answer to herbicides.
