Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages, has been a pioneer in organic winegrowing in the Occitanie region since 1968.<\/strong>Situated in the heart of the Corbi\u00e8res, this is one of the largest organic wine estates in the region, covering 120 hectares.
\nHis vision is still to be one step ahead, and with the same determination as 30 years ago, to be an estate that produces singular wines of the highest quality.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1968: a pioneering Ch\u00e2teau<\/h3>\n

It took all the fighting spirit and determination of the management and teams at Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt to commit to organic and eco-responsible wine production at a time when these concepts were viewed with a certain scepticism in France.
\nIn 1968, Pech-Latt began de-stemming and crushing the grapes, before organising vinification and bottling directly at the Ch\u00e2teau.
\nIn 1970, a new step was taken with the ban on chemical weedkillers.<\/p>\n

1991: 1st certifications<\/h3>\n

However, it would be more than 20 years before the work and attention paid to the vines were validated by official bodies.
\nThe 1991 vintage was the first to be produced according to the strictest principles of organic viticulture and obtained ECOCERT \"Organic Agriculture\" certification in 1993.<\/p>\n

Since 2000: Preservation of the estate's biodiversity and reinforcement of organic winegrowing practices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt has made organic viticulture a veritable philosophy of life. The size of the estate and the longevity of this approach help to preserve the terroir so that each cuv\u00e9e expresses all the richness of our plots.
\nThe Ch\u00e2teau enjoys a privileged location, surrounded by garrigue and the Alaric mountains, which protect it from extreme weather (e.g. frost, hail). No intensive cultivation surrounds the land, and no harmful inputs are used, ensuring that our sustainable practices are effective for the vines and our grapes. The environment is preserved and healthy.
\nWe continue to work hard to protect animals, both pollinators and those that help renew the soil. The estate is home to a large number of species, such as the bats that nest in a sheepfold that serves as a protected shelter under the aegis of the National Ecological Centre.
\nThe care we take also helps to preserve our plant environment, which is teeming with trees and plants endemic to the region: olive trees, fig trees, cypresses, aloe vera, etc., and naturally regulates insect populations and all the protected species.
\nThe search for new techniques (water recovery, compost, etc.) and the maintenance of manual practices (hand-picking, digging in the plots) are always favoured to help our vines develop without disease and to improve their resilience, particularly to climatic stress. As a result, the soil is more alive, the vines healthier and our wines more faithful to the Pech-Latt terroir.<\/p>\n

2022 : The renewal of Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt<\/h3>\n

Since 2022, a wind of change has been blowing through Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt. Major investments have been made to renovate and modernise our infrastructure.
\nThe winery, the first project to be completed this summer, has been completely redesigned and equipped for state-of-the-art parcel-based vinification. This approach allows for slow, gentle vinification, adapted to each vintage and varying from one cuv\u00e9e to the next. Each vat is vinified and matured according to its own characteristics and needs, preserving the integrity of the fruit and respecting the terroir so as to create aromatic notes that are borrowed from the DNA of Ch\u00e2teau Pech-Latt.<\/p>\n

This renewal is guided by our desire to innovate and to rediscover the essence of our history, while remaining respectful and faithful to our commitments to nature and our terroir.<\/strong><\/p>\n
