DOMAINE LEDOGAR - MACCABEU 2016 IGP AUDE
Xavier Ledogar has worked this 22-hectare domain since he was 12 years old and took complete control over it in 1997, changing its name from Domaine Grand Lauze to Domaine Ledogar. The vineyards in the Boutenac terroir near Carcassonne, are spread around the village of Ferrals-les-Corbières.
In 1998, one of his first changes Xavier made to the family domain, of which he was of the fourth generation of custodians, was to stop selling the grapes to the local co-op and instead use them to make outstanding wines himself.
