About
Perched on the highest point of the Bandol appellation, in La Cadière-d'Azur, the Domaine de la Bégude is a place untouched by time. A former coaching inn on the road to Marseille (from which it takes its name, ‘la bégudo’ meaning ‘the drink’ in Provençal), this estate covers 500 hectares, part of which is classified as a protected area. A true natural viewpoint, it offers a breathtaking panorama where the deep blue of the Mediterranean blends with the silvery green of the olive trees and vineyards.
The spirit and the terroir
The terroir of La Bégude is characterised by its altitude and exceptional aspect, benefiting from a cool microclimate that lends the wines an elegance and freshness rarely found in the region. Committed to organic viticulture that respects biodiversity, the estate gives pride of place to Mourvèdre, the king of Bandol’s grape varieties. The philosophy here is one of authenticity and preservation: each cuvée is a faithful reflection of the preserved clay-limestone soils, worked with a passion that is passed on with every harvest.
A destination to experience
Domaine de la Bégude is a distinctive stopover for a peaceful exploration in the heart of coastal Provence. After a ride on an electric bike through the terraced vineyards and the garrigue, the estate offers a complete immersion:
- Panoramic tasting: Savour the powerful reds, characterful rosés and finely crafted whites with a view of the Mediterranean.
- Heritage and history: Discover the cellars housed in the former 7th-century chapel, a place steeped in character and coolness.
- Encounter with nature: Stroll through a wild and unspoilt environment, ideal for a contemplative break.
- Gourmet experiences: Depending on the programme, enjoy moments of sharing over local produce and the estate’s olive oils.
