High altitude (350m) vineyards in south-west Languedoc translate into a particularly fine, refreshing Chardonnay. The Kinglakes are also making some very fine special bottlings such as L’Étoile de Begude and L’Esprit de Begude Pinot Noir. Jancis Robinson
Domaine Begude is a 25 hectare family-owned historic estate set high in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Limoux region of the Languedoc. The vineyard was established in the late 16th century & due to its great terroir, has always enjoyed a reputation for excellence. Our driving passion is to produce outstanding cool climate wines from this awesome terroir. Our fruit is of the very highest natural quality thanks to our long growing season & our belief in a healthy, sustainable environment through organic farming. We are a truly international team comprising the British owners, French manager/wine-maker & Australian consultant wine-maker. We are making modern French wine full of fruit with wonderful natural acidity and a lovely long finish. Our wines are available to buy both at the caveau de dégustation on the property and through many distributors worldwide. Please contact us for details.
