THE WINE
Le Marmot is a co-ferment of cinsault and grenache. 2-4 days of whole bunch maceration in steel makes this a juicy, fresh and utterly smashable red!
THE PEOPLE
A former social worker, Olivier Pichon retrained as a winemaker in 2015 and has been producing fresh, juicy cuvee's that are utterly moreish ever since! The wines are ridiculously good value for money given the level of effort he makes.
THE PLACE
The Gard region of southern France, nestled between the Rhône Valley and Languedoc, is known for producing bold and sun-drenched wines that reflect its Mediterranean climate and diverse terroirs. Vineyards here benefit from warm temperatures, rocky soils, and the cooling mistral winds, contributing to the richness and balance of its wines. The region produces a wide variety of reds, whites, and rosés, often under the Côtes du Rhône, Costières de Nîmes, and IGP Pays d’Oc appellations. Reds, made primarily from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, are full-bodied and expressive, while the whites and rosés offer fresh, aromatic profiles ideal for warm-weather sipping. For us the predomaint feature of wines of the region are the defining tasting notes of garrigue and Mediterranean herbs.
