WinesBeing situated at 400m altitude we have a very long, cool growing season with average daily temperatures reaching 32-35C in July and August, but with lows of 15-20C at night. This immense difference in temperature gives both tremendous ripe fruit and awesome acidity- the 2 key ingredients required to make great white wines. Our driving ambition is to make excellent wine from long-established high quality terroir with a modern twist; in effect we are bridging the gap between New & Old World producing fresh, fruity, zesty wines often reminiscent of the New World, but with the elegance of the Old World, all at very affordable prices. We want every bottle to arrive in optimum condition and to that end we close all our bottles with Stelvin screw caps, except for L’Etoile de Begude which is closed with top quality natural cork.
Our Range from the Sunny South of France: Pays d’Oc Sauvignon Blanc With a rapier sharp nose & a fresh, zesty citrus palate this is the perfect accompaniment to all seafood dishes, especially shellfish. Serve this delicious wine chilled. Pays d’Oc Chardonnay "Le Bel Ange" An inviting citrus nose greets you, to then be augmented with this delightful, crystal clear, refreshing, apple- and pear-scented beauty on the palate. Enjoy this crystal clear wine as a stylish aperitif or as a fantastic partner to seafood. Pays d’Oc Pinot Rosé Plump strawberries and cherries on the nose give way to luscious summer fruits, which crowd the palate. Serve this delicious wine chilled. Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir This wine is packed full of seductive red cherry & wild strawberry fruit. A pure delight with steak & other red meats. AOC Limoux Chardonnay Classique Intense citrus aromas lead to honeyed fresh fruits on the palate. Without doubt this wine is right up there when compared to some of the very best white Burgundies. Seafood and white meat are both joyous partners for this delicious wine. Haute Vallée de l'Aude - L’Exotique L’Exotique is an exciting & unique blend of rare cépages crafted high in the Pyrenean foothills. Tiny yields & rigorous selection result in this limited cuvée. AOC Limoux- L’Etoile de Begude The Best of the Best from Domaine Begude and more like Chassagne than South of France. Brioche on the nose; purity of apple & pear fruit on the palate. Decant an hour before serving this beauty with white meats or cheese
