About the Winery:
Domaine de Boede is a 25-hectare property close to Chateau de la Negly. Made at Chateau de la Negly by the same exceptional team of winemakers Didier Lacreu and Claude Gros Domaine de Boede receives the same careful treatment accorded to the Negly wines.
In the heart of the Massif of La Clape, the terroirs of La Négly and Boède are distinguished by the diversity of their soils. The vineyards here are close to the Mediterranean with soils of weathered sandstone gravel and chalk. The Paux-Rosset family definitively steers the estate in a very qualitative strategy and aspires to make wines from the castle references of the Languedoc. The cultivation method is modified to preserve the environment and the vines are again cultivated for the most part.
