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.

In 1968, Pech-Latt was one of the first Corbières châteaux to destem and crush the grapes and 3 years later, the first bottling took place at the Château where all the production is now vinified. In 1970, Château Pech-Latt stopped using chemical weedkillers.
1991 signe l’entrée du Château dans la viticulture biologique selon ses principes les plus stricts, dans une recherche de qualité qui ne cessera jamais par la suite d’animer Château Pech-Latt. Ce sera l’un des tout premiers vignobles du sud à amorcer ce virage et aujourd’hui plus du tiers des vignobles des Corbières sont en bio. Le premier millésime certifié « Orgavigne » Agriculture Biologique auprès d’Ecocert voit le jour en 1994, puis en 1998, celui certifié Bio Suisse Organic.
Dans la commune de Lagrasse, Château Pech-Latt est implanté au cœur de l’appellation Corbières en Languedoc-Roussillon, idéalement situé entre terre et mer, bénéficiant d’un double climat et de terroirs riches et divers. Les quelque 10 600 hectares de vignes en AOC Corbières, dont 1300 ha en agriculture biologique en font l’une des grandes zones de vignobles français.
Pech-Latt, in Occitan "top of a wide hill", in reference to the vast hilly expanse over which the domain extends, is located in a natural cirque surrounded by hills and scrubland, at an altitude of 150 meters, at the foot of the Alaric mountain. These reliefs composed of limestone soils and red marl create a natural protection of the domain, in a region violently swept by the winds, a kind of climatic exception under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, a land of sun and wind.
Pech-Latt is diversified in terms of soils (schist, sandstone, limestone, marl), grape varieties (Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre for the reds) and climates. It covers more than 350 hectares, including 160 hectares of vines classified 90% in AOC Corbières.
De par son emplacement géographique avec ses vignes placées dans un amphithéâtre naturel de l’Alaric, le domaine bénéficie d’un terroir exceptionnel lui permettant de maintenir une fraicheur sur ses sols, grâce aux contreforts des collines et montagnes qui l’entourent.
À Pech-Latt, la terre marque les hommes qui y ont travaillé et reste dans la mémoire des anciens tant sa grandeur est unique et son rayonnement important. La quarantaine de vendangeurs qui ramassent le raisin à la main sur ce semblant d’île viticole et s’affairent au domaine le savent bien. Château Pech-Latt est un lieu de vie. On n’y compte en son sein, brebis et chauves-souris qui vivent sur ses terres en parfaite harmonie avec ses habitants.
