Good to Know: Les Marmandais was founded in 2003, following the merging of two cooperative wineries of the appellation: the Cave de Beaupuy on the right bank of the River Garonne, and the Cave de Cocumont on the left bank. This cuvée comes from a 800-hectare vineyard area in the IGP du Comté Tolosan, in south west France.
