Domaine Begude is a small hilltop domaine very close to the town of Limoux, owned and managed by British couple James and Catherine Kinglake. The area is known for its relatively cool climate and hence its ability to produce crisp and aromatic Chardonnay, with characteristics to rival fine Burgundies, but at significantly more palatable prices. This wine is blended from specially selected parcels of vines immediately adjacent to the Kinglakes' house.
