The Domaine de la Bégude is located in Bandol, on the Mediterranean coast of France. It houses a historical winemaking site that spans a total area of about 22 hectares. The site has a long history, dating back to 1820, and today consists of 14 hectares of mature AOC Bandol vineyards, with a subsoil composed of limestone clays. The Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre are at the heart of la Bégude's production, characterizing the Bandol terroir. The AOC Bandol is famous for its powerful reds with soft and silky tannins, the white wines being incredibly fresh and fruity, with citrus notes and remarkable acidity. The winemakers use winemaking methods that respect and promote the environment, favoring biodiversity and being mindful of minimal chemical usage, and recycling the fermentation and wine production products. The wines are aged 100% in new barrels and in stainless steel tanks depending on the grape varieties and selections. Organic practices are also implemented, and as a member of the Bandol AOP Collective, the domain supports collective projects for sustainable viticulture and interaction with nature and local rituals. The wines, ranging from a very aromatic dry rosé to a mature and intense red wine, are available in bottle and online and are very appreciated by wine enthusiasts all over Europe. La Bégude also offers tours and courses about the domains that highlight their history and winemaking philosophy, their hospitality style and their incomparable wines.
