"The nose is dominated by aromas of black fruits, toast, smoke, earth and spices, which continue into a generous body with silky tannins. Tasty, precise finish. Made from organically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring." (James Suckling 2023).

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Like many Corbières estates, Pech-Latt is of monastic origin: the estate depended on the nearby abbey of Lagrasse, whose vineyard is attested in 784. Located at the foot of the Alaric mountain, this vast unit (340 ha, including 160 ha of vines) has been farmed organically since 1991. Today, Lise Sadirac is the manager of the estate, which belongs to the Louis Max group from Burgundy.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated 5*Stars (Outstanding production)
About the domain :
At the foot of the Alaric mountains, Pech-Latt's certified organic vines are planted on limestone and red marl soils. Hard work, then, as the estate exceeds 90 hectares, with a varied grape variety that gives pride of place to carignan and grenache noir, as well as marsanne in the white. After de-stemming - except for some of the carignan - the musts undergo long vatting, followed by ageing in vats or oak barrels for some of the older vines.
