Léon Perdigal was Ogier’s first cellarmaster when the company was founded in 1859. Born in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, he knew all the secrets of how an exceptional wine from the Rhone Valley should be taken care of. He always kept the cellar’s keys on him, quickly earning the nickname ‘The Pope of the Keys’.

Food Pairing: Pork, rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), shellfish, poultry.
