Details
Buzet Pech Abuse Domaine de Pech, natural, bright ruby, expressive aromas of blueberry, earthy, smoky and mineral notes. Le Pech Abusé is a mix of Merlot (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Cabernet Franc (40%), softened in old oak foudres after égrappage and three weeks vinification in stainless steel vats, developing striking prune and leather aromas after several years in the bottle. A delicious natural wine from a fairly unknown appellation.
Domaine du Pech is situated on the slopes of Sainte-Colombe-en-Bruilhois in the extreme south east of the appellation. The white gravels have excellent drainage and the consequent reflection of light and accumulation of heat ensures optimal maturity for the grapes. Viticulture is “biodynamic”. No fertilizers have been used for twenty years. Since 2000 yields have been significantly reduced and since 2004 the drive towards biodynamic methods of cultivation has included the use of medicinal plants as well as minerals, thereby necessitating minimal treatments with copper or use of sulphur. Only natural yeasts and bacteria are used and the wines are bottled without filtration
