“A silky, deep ruby color with purplish highlights. The nose offers aromas of red and black fruits with vegetal and peppery notes. On the palate, it displays seductive power combined with a touch of sweetness. It’s like an iron fist in a velvet glove! A great mineral freshness on the finish.” (Gilbert & Gaillard 2023).

Guide Hachette des vins
Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
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 vineyard is first documented in 784. Located at the foot of Mount Alaric, this vast estate (340 ha, including 160 ha of vineyards) has been farmed organically since 1991. Lise Sadirac is currently 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 mix of grape varieties that gives pride of place to Carignan and Grenache Noir, as well as Marsanne for white wines. After destemming—except for a portion of the Carignan grapes—the musts undergo extended fermentation, followed by aging in tanks or, for certain old vines, in oak barrels.

About the wine:
A deep ruby color with purplish highlights and a lovely oily texture. The nose features red and black fruits with vegetal and peppery notes. On the palate, it offers seductive power combined with a touch of sweetness. It’s an iron fist in a velvet glove! A great mineral freshness on the finish.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Notes of black cherries, blackcurrants, dried thyme, and peppercorns. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Firm and substantial, with a juicy core of cherries and blackcurrants at the center and a spicier, juicier core of blueberries toward the finish.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on February 20, 2024
Favorite these Grand Vins, where Pech-Latt’s art of blending reveals, right from the first whiff, a generous array of aromas of small wild berries (wild strawberries and blueberries, in particular) and fresh herbs, complemented by a subtle hint of white pepper and a touch of zing. Full-bodied, yet without excessive warmth or heaviness, the palate unfolds with an opulent, enveloping texture and a creamy mouthfeel, along with a delightfully rich and slightly invigorating juice, supported by a generous dose of smooth, graceful tannins that evoke a delicate sensation of tenderness and sensual pleasure that persists from start to finish. Despite its dated packaging, this highly appealing Corbières—rated TB. RQ/P.—is ready to be enjoyed today with Languedoc-style Corbières lamb shanks. Score = 4.2.
