Our Story

Domaine Begude is an award winning, organic vineyard nestling high in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in the renowned appellation of Limoux. It has been under the same family ownership since 2003 when James and Catherine Kinglake moved there to fulfil a dream. Begude’s 25 hectares of certified organic vines, benefit from the region’s long cool growing season resulting in wines that are fruit driven, well balanced and underpinned with a natural freshness and purity. We employ a very small committed team, headed by Laurent Girault, who has extensive winemaking experience in many French appellations and also further afield at Rippon Vineyard in Central Otago, New Zealand.
