As one of the Languedoc's most refreshing regions, Pic Saint-Loup is renowned for its irresistibly juicy and enticing cuvées. Showcasing this unique terroir, Le Prieuré de Beauregard, under the adept guidance of Frédéric Mézy from Clos des Augustins, boasts prime vineyard plots on coveted clay-limestone soils.
Nestled near the first foothills of the Cévennes and with an easterly orientation, the vineyard benefits from optimal conditions. This results in wines that are not just fresh and invigorating but also carry a distinguished organic certification.
