Having enjoyed @camelvalleybob’s Pinot Noir rosé in Cornwall, ordered James’s @Begude Pinot Noir by the glass at @brasserieblanc in Cheltenham. Fine choice and decent value with the Autumn menu.

Hi- We have been raising money for the Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund over the summer months at Begude. It would be super if we could nudge the total up to €1500. Thank you so much. Please see our page: justgiving.com/fundraising/b…

Laurent our œnologue checking ripeness levels of some #chardonnay this afternoon. About 12% alcohol potential so another week or so before harvest. Still want some rain- dry since mid June. #raindance #bio #limoux

Cerisier at Begude abundant with fruit! Our Pinot Noir Cerisier 2021 👉 should now be available form many places all over Europe… US customers have to wait a little! Great with summer #grillade and try it a tad chilled. #pinotnoir #vinbio #cerisier #cerise

Approx 10 days to flowering/veraison. Amazing to think this bunch will make a glass of #chardonnay in a few months time!

A “Cigarier”. Totally harmless insect who builds her house in a vine leaf. Not found in many conventional vineyards but pretty much in all #organic #bio vineyards. #viticulture #greatname

Growing season well under way with beautiful blue skies. Vines appear to be 2 weeks ahead of the norm. #bio #suddefrance #limoux #sunnydays
