Domaine Begude is a small family-owned property located high in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Limoux region of the Languedoc. The long, cool growing season lends itself to the production of crisp and delicate wines. The Etoile Chardonnay is aged all in demi-muid (large oak barrels), a mix of new and used. This gives white Burgs and California Chards at twice the price a run for their money.
