The Pic Saint-Loup, the coolest terroir in Languedoc, is a remarkable source of juicy and indulgent cuvées. Driven by the talent of Frédéric Mézy from Clos des Augustins, Le Prieuré de Beauregard has made this its specialty, benefiting from exceptionally well-situated clay-limestone parcels, likely among the most coveted in the region.

The altitude, nestled on the first foothills of the Cévennes, and its eastern exposure create ideal conditions for producing fresh, vibrant, and striking wines, all certified organic.
