A PRESERVED AND
GENEROUS EDEN
A PIECE OF HISTORY
Land of reform, culture and religious orthodoxy, this part of Occitania is notably marked by the presence of Charlemagne who founded in 779 the Abbey of Lagrasse whose Benedictines would have started cultivating vines around the year 784 In the 12th century, we find traces of a church in Pechlat among the possessions of these monks.
A smallholding was created there in 1499 to hold the land (cereals and livestock) and in 1634, there is mention of a primitive vine in Pech-Latt. This activity will become dominant in 1903, supplemented by the cultivation of olives, cereals, as well as the breeding of poultry and horses.
ORGANIC GEM
In the region, there is now a broad consensus on organic farming and many wine growers have adopted it. However, Château Pech-Latt was one of the pioneers in Occitania to switch entirely to organic viticulture out of visionary conviction. The sign of a domain which leads its way in complete independence, respectful of its terroir since always.
In the 1970s, Château Pech-Latt made the radical choice to stop herbicides in the cultivation of its vines, before becoming one of the very first estates certified in organic farming in 1991, when this label was created.
