About the estate:
Like many estates in the Corbières region, Pech-Latt has monastic origins: the estate was once part of the nearby Lagrasse Abbey, whose vineyards are first mentioned in 784. Located at the foot of Mont Alaric, this vast estate (340 hectares, including 160 hectares of vineyards) has been farmed organically since 1991. Lise Sadirac is now the estate manager of the property, which belongs to the Burgundy-based Louis Max group
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)
About the estate:
At the foot of Mount Alaric, the Pech-Latt vineyards—certified organic—are planted on limestone and red marl soils. This requires a great deal of work, as the estate spans over 90 hectares, with a diverse range of grape varieties that give pride of place to Carignan and Grenache Noir, as well as Marsanne for the white wines. After destemming—except for a portion of the Carignan—the musts undergo extended fermentation, followed by aging in tanks or oak barrels for certain old vines.

Review by Ms. ISABELLE B. Posted on January 17, 2014
The old-vine cuvée is more challenging to approach at the tasting: it’s more structured, with higher alcohol and tannin levels. So I’ll wait for it...
