Château Puech-Haut

A mission that has been a resounding success over the past decade: the Puech-Haut Vineyard now comprises some 100 hectares of vineyards that benefit from a very favorable Mediterranean climate, growing on soils composed of clay and limestone and covered with rounded pebbles—the same type found in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The grape varieties, selected by the Château Puech-Haut selected for their suitability to the terroir (Syrah and Grenache foremost among them), are grown using sustainable practices without chemical herbicides, and the grapes are harvested by hand at peak ripeness. Vinification, carried out in barrels and wooden vats depending on the wine’s color, is done separately by grape variety to preserve their full character. Finally, aging in barrels follows criteria that give the estate’s Coteaux du Languedoc wines a remarkable distinctiveness. Château Puech-Haut.
