Wine Description:
Le Domaine du Pech's "Le Pech Abusé" is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, aged for 4 years in old barrels. Unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites, it epitomizes natural winemaking. Nestled in the southeastern tip of Buzet appellation near Sainte-Colombe-en-Bruilhois, Lot-et-Garonne, the domaine was founded by Daniel Tissot in 1978, then taken over by his daughter Magali Tissot and Ludovic Bonnelle in 1997. Spanning 22 hectares, with 13 hectares devoted to vines, the estate embraces biodynamic practices since the 2000s, certified by Demeter in 2008 and part of the Renaissance des Appellations group. The vineyards, aged 35 to 45 years, thrive on diverse soils of Garonne gravel, clay, silt, and limestone, tended with minimal intervention and herbal treatments. "Le Pech Abusé" showcases a terroir-driven, organic wine, reflecting the dedication to sustainability and quality at Domaine du Pech.

Wine Expert Note:

Domaine du Pech Le Pech Abusé entices with an aromatic nose, offering notes of black fruits, fruit jam, violet, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied and velvety experience. The supple and integrated tannins weave seamlessly around a fresh and mineral backbone. A hint of residual sugar adds depth and complexity without weighing down the palate. Pair this wine with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb chops or aged cheeses to complement its robust character. While enjoyable now, this wine has excellent cellaring potential, and a few years of aging will further enhance its intricacy and depth.
