Domaine de La Bégude
Perched above Bandol in Provence, Domaine de La Bégude sits at around 427 metres, where garrigue, sea air and the shadow of Sainte‑Baume shape a naturally temperate rhythm.Long before it was a wine estate, this place was a travellers’ stop on the road from Marseille to Toulon – “beguda”, the drink of welcome. Today the story continues in 55 plots across roughly 38 hectares, farmed organically with no herbicides or synthetic inputs since 1996.
A defining signature is its Mourvèdre conservatory, gathering more than 150 selections – a living library for Bandol’s emblematic grape. Since the Roulleau family took the helm in 2022, the intent is clear: plot‑by‑plot precision, careful extraction and élevage in the ancient 7th‑century Chapelle de la Miséricorde. The result is an estate voice built on altitude, patience and quiet authority.
