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.
Dès les années 1970, le Château Pech-Latt fait le choix radical d’arrêter les herbicides dans la culture de ses vignes, avant de faire partie des tout premiers domaines certifiés en agriculture biologique en 1991, à la naissance de ce label.

JEWEL OF THE CORBIÈRES
Pech-Latt is an “end of the world”, the culmination of a patient quest. Jewel of the Corbières which hides to better protect its wealth and its integrity. If it is completely in phase with the great revolution initiated by the winegrowers of Corbières towards quality wines, it occupies a special place in this landscape with a remarkable geological and geographical atypicality which has shaped a form of precious rarity.
This contract of truth and excellence, we have it with the land that we work but also with the men with whom we collaborate. We do not cheat and never compromise, in total transparency.
