By this point, you’ve probably heard me talk about Marjorie and Stephane before. Nearly 20 years ago, they took a chance on a group of ancient vineyard parcels in the Roussillon – abandoned because it was nearly impossible to farm with any modern equipment.
That meant a lot of back-breaking work, but it also meant that the wines struggled mightily to burrow through rock and cling to one of the steepest hillsides I’ve ever seen in the southwest of France. That natural struggle and the couple’s dedication to organic and biodynamic farming has produced wines whose expression of their amazing terroir have blown away all those lucky enough to try them.
