Wine
Depending on the vintage, Patrice makes very different cuvees.
The potential of the grapes, vinification and the final wine, is decided by the quality, maturity and structural potential of the grape.
He often uses long maceration to extract lots of texture and character.
Patrice Beguet’s wines are anything but predictable.
No fining
No filtration
No synthetic yeast
No added sulphur (for most of the wines)
Domaine Hughes Beguet
All the fruit that goes into these wines has been grown and handpicked from Beguet’s own vineyards in Jura, including a much-coveted plot in Côte de Feule, Pupillin.
The Domaine Beguet labels feature an early twentieth century lithograph used by Patrice’s grandfather, who had a licence to distill Gentiane, a spirit made from the gentiane’s root.
Patrice Béguet - Négoce
The fruit that goes into these wines is purchased from organic growers in and outside of the Jura region.
Each quirky and colourful label from this range has been painted by artist and illustrator Aya Sato.
