The blend consists of 80 percent Syrah and 20 percent Grenache grapes. These come from a vineyard located in the southern French Languedoc. The term "Pech" comes from the old historical name for "small hill." Laurent Miquel named this wine Pech because the vineyard is situated in a hilly area at an altitude of 136 meters. The altitude is also reflected in the name. The vineyard enjoys a wonderful climate, resulting in high-quality grapes.
To ensure that all the delicious aromas are preserved, the grapes are harvested at sunrise. They are then transported to the cellar, where every effort is made to preserve the elegance that the terroir imparts. The grapes are rigorously selected and destemmed, followed by a short fermentation at a low temperature. After this, 22 percent of the wine is aged in old oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel tanks.
The result is a beautiful red wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The palate reveals notes of cherries, and the wine is beautifully balanced and has a fresh acidity. The finish is full and smooth, making this wine more than complete. It pairs excellently with red meat and also pairs well with aged cheeses.
