Domaine du Pech is situated on the slopes of Sainte-Colombe-en-Bruilhois in the southeastern corner of the Buzet appellation near the Garonne River about halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse. This Biodynamic domaine has been run by Magali Tissot and her partner Ludovic Bonnelle since 1997 after they took the reins from Magali's father Daniel. Natural wine is what theyre all about - fertilizers havent been used for over twenty years and only natural yeasts and bacteria are used in winemaking. Bottling is done without filtration and only minimal amounts of sulphur and copper are used. Theyre among just a handful of growers in the area that work in this way and their wines certainly reflect the character of the region.
Colour: bright ruby
Aroma: blueberry, blackberry and black fruit mingled with earthy, smoky and mineral notes.
Palate: rich, generous, ripe and super juicy with the same flavours as on the nose—oak ageing nuances enhanced by good acidity and integrated tannins. The finish is soft, rounded and ripe but not overripe or stewed.
