The history of Château Puech-Haut is above all the story of Gérard Bru, a visionary man who built his vineyard just as he built his own life: starting from nothing and creating and achieving a dream without question. In 1980, Bru bought a parcel that was planted to olive trees and wasn’t part of the Languedoc A.O.C. classification. Bru was impressed with the area’s unique terroir and believed it was ideal for growing premium grapes, with its clay and limestone soils topped with a layer of rounded pebbles. The property was converted from olives to grapes and the property’s farmhouse evolved to Château Puech-Haut, producing its first wines a few years later. The wines of Château Puech-Haut are all full of history and endowed with a singular identity with strong character. In summarizing the Estate’s philosophy, Gérard Bru states, “Our objective is clear: produce the greatest wines by respecting and captivating various terroirs is the philosophy of Puech Haut.”Vintage notes After a relative warm winter, and lot of rains in January, and some record of high temperature for the season, in February and March, we had a hot summer, with two short periods in July and August of intense heat. Temperatures being 2 °C higher than standard. September and October allowed us to harvest in good conditions, without massive rains. Yields were lower than 2019, being the lower harvest quantity registered. In the same time wines offer good balance between elegance, freshness and complexity.
