Domaine Ledogar

COUNTRY :
France

REGION :
Ferrals les Corbieres

PRODUCTION :

The vineyards extend over 22 hectares in the Boutenac terroir near Carcassonne, around the village of Ferrals-les-Corbières. Xavier Ledogar has run this 22-hectare estate since 1997 changing the vineyard name from Domaine Grand Lauze to Domaine Ledogar.

One of the first changes Xavier made to the family estate, of which he was a fourth-generation custodian, was to stop selling grapes to the local cooperative and use them instead to make wines himself. Xavier was joined by his brother Mathieu in 2004 and they quickly converted the vineyards to respect biodynamic principles. Domaine Ledogar was certified organic by Ecocert in 2006. A third brother, Benoit, now joins them as they continue to produce exceptional BTG options for restaurants and cafés around the world, as well as AOC Corbières Boutenac cuvées and a spectacular Carignan Blanc.
