2020 Thyrsus Rouge du Domaine de la Bégude, Provence, France, Bandol AOC

Domaine de La Bégude enjoys an exceptional natural setting high above the Bandol appellation, at the foot of the Sainte-Baume mountain range. Surrounded by hundreds of hectares of Mediterranean scrubland and forest, the vineyards benefit from altitude, the cooling Mistral wind and significant day-to-night temperature variation. Acquired by the Roulleau family in 2022, the estate continues its organic and biodynamic approach with an increasing focus on single vineyards and gentler extraction techniques.
