Story of the wine:

The Cave du Marmandais was founded in 2003 following the merging of two cooperative wineries of the appellation: the Cave de Beaupuy (founded in 1957) on the right bank, and the Cave de Cocumont (1956) on the left bank, not far away from the Cocumont Church. With over 800 hectares and over 100 wine growers, this cooperative is leading. The vintners of Marmandais earned their Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée in 1990. The vineyard started to expand in the 18th and 19th centuries but gained real importance in the 20th century, when improvement and the acknowledgment of their uniqueness became a priority.
