2021 Domaine Ledogar 'La Mariole' (Carignan / Marselan), Corbieres, France Quinta do Javali followed with a lingering finishCentury 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.
