Domaine de la Bégude
Located in Camp-du-Castellet, at the highest point of the Bandol appellation, Domaine de La Bégude farms 38 hectares of vines spread across 55 parcels within a vast environment of garrigue and forest. Mourvèdre holds a central position here, notably through a conservatory bringing together over 150 varieties. Acquired by the Roulleau family in September 2022, the estate is farmed organically, and its production has been Demeter certified since the 2023 vintage.

Histoire du domaine
The site of La Bégude retains traces of ancient occupation: its former chapel of La Miséricorde de Conil is linked to the presence of the Saint-Victor Abbey, while the disappeared village is mentioned as early as 966 in the abbey's cartulary. Winemaking vats attributed to the 14th century bear witness to the antiquity of the winegrowing activity. At the end of the 18th century, the Benet family, connected to the shipyards of La Ciotat, developed the vineyard, the olive grove, and the cellar; at the beginning of the 20th century, the Racine family took over the property and maintained the reputation of its wines. Guillaume and Louis Tari subsequently acquired La Bégude and undertook the restoration of the buildings as well as the ancient dry-stone terraces (restanques); from 1996 onwards, chemical weedkillers, pesticides, and fertilizers were banned. In September 2022, after about twenty-five years under the Tari family, the estate was sold to the Roulleau family, the fifth owning family since the Middle Ages. Laurent Fortin was then appointed general manager, with Vincent Bouyer as technical director. Nicolas Labat, who arrived at the estate in 2019 after training in viticulture and oenology, is currently the cellar master.
