Domaine Begude

About Domaine Begude

Domaine Begude is a French wine house in the high Languedoc, known for fresh, mineral wines grown at the region's cool altitude. For the newcomer, it's a good chance to taste Languedoc in a different, cooler style than the region's typically powerful reds. For the collector, the low yields - under 20 hl/ha for individual wines - are a guarantee of concentration and quality rarely found at this price.

History & Background

The estate is run by a British wine family who found a unique terroir in the Languedoc highlands, far from the region's warmer lowlands. Catherine and James Kinglake took over and relaunched the estate in 2003, though the property itself was founded as far back as the late 1500s, and is today run fully certified organic.

Production & Style

The wines are made from grapes grown at high altitude, where cool nights preserve acidity and give the wines a fresher, more elegant style than typical Languedoc.

Signature Style

Fresh, Mineral, Elegant
The flavor offers fresh acidity and a distinct mineral character, unusual for the region.
