Domaine du Pech, Daniel Tissot, Buzet 2005

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. There is no such thing as a bad Buzet.

Daniel Tissot has been making wine and winning medals in the Cotes de Buzet since 1980. The wines are a mix of Merlot (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Cabernet Franc (30%), the basic garnet-hued wine aged in old oak foudres after egrappage and three weeks vinification in stainless steel vats, developing striking prune and leather aromas after several years in the bottle.
