Cadet de la Begude Rouge
Domaine de la Begude
France - Provence

The noble terroir of Provence and the signature of the Tari Family raised at Chateau Giscours in Margaux and at the Domaine de la Begude in Bandol - the 7th generation of vignerons - gave birth to this valiant Cadet.
A selection with a fragrance of freedom, respectful of the environment, carried by the Mistral wind and the light of the Mediterranean Sea.

A selection of young vines, with no oak aging. Full fruit with a fresh and provencal character. Scents of black cherries, notes of menthol and spices. Harmonious and fruity on the palate with a spicy and warm finish, on elegant tannins.

"This is like a second wine for the estate. A generous wine, it is ripe with black fruits that are sustained by tannins and fragrant aromas. It has warmth, density and an evocative, herbal aftertaste. Drink from 2022. Organic. - ROGER VOSS"

 "A juicy, fruity blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault, this wine is lightly textured with soft tannins. The equivalent of a second wine for this estate, it focuses on ripe black fruits and fresh acidity. Drink from 2022. Organic. - Roger VOSS."

wine enthusiast 90 pts"This wine starts with a stalky character that develops into a richer, juicy black fruitiness. Produced from organically grown grapes, the wine is packed with berry flavors, layered with acidity and well structured. Drink from late 2020. - Roger VOSS"

2017 Cadet de la Bégude - 90 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 90 pts"This young, deep-purple-colored wine is almost the equivalent of a Bordeaux second wine. A blend across the two appellations of Côtes de Provence and Bandol, it has a rich potential, spicy, herbal while also packed with generous black fruits. The tannins will allow it to age, so save for 2019. - Roger VOSS"

wa90"Roughly one-third each Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault, the 2017 Cadet de la Begude is a new IGP wine meant to introduce the domaine to new audiences. It's an unoaked, medium to full-bodied wine, bold and berry-scented, loaded with plum and raspberry flavors, soft tannins and a lingering finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"As to the reds, the 2017 Cadet de la Begude is close to an even split of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault that’s a selection of younger vines aged in tank. It’s a charming, textured, nicely layered Bandol that has good complexity in its spicy dark fruits and peppery aromatics. It’s already drinking nicely yet will keep for 7-8 years."
