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.
Grilled lamb, meat cooked with sauce, southern French cuisine and tasty dishes (tajines, couscous, paellas).
"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."

"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"

Go To Cadet de la Begude Rouge
"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"

Go To Cadet de la Begude Rouge
"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."
