Begude Terroir Chardonnay

Bégude Terroir Chardonnay is a fresh, cool-climate expression from the Limoux area in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Pale straw in colour, it shows bright citrus and orchard fruit, with notes of green apple, pear and a touch of white blossom. The palate is clean and precise, combining zesty acidity with a subtle texture and mineral edge, creating a balanced, modern style that leans more towards freshness than richness.

Domaine Bégude sits at around 300–340 metres altitude in Limoux, one of the coolest pockets of southern France, where vineyards benefit from warm days and significantly cooler nights. This elevation allows Chardonnay to retain acidity and freshness, giving the wine a style often compared to southern Burgundy rather than typical Languedoc richness. The estate is run by a British couple and is fully organic, with notably low yields to enhance concentration and precision.
