The estate in a few words
Coteaux du Languedoc, Saint-Drézéry, Pic Saint-Loup. Clay soils, limestone, rolled pebbles, Mediterranean climate cooled by sea winds.

La robe du 2025 est d'un rose pâle lumineux, presque translucide, avec des reflets saumonés. Le nez s'ouvre avec une spontanéité désarmante sur la framboise fraîche, la pêche de vigne et le pamplemousse rose, relevés d'une touche florale de rose musquée. En bouche, l'acidité est vive et précise dès l'attaque, la texture légère et coulante, sans aucun sucre résiduel perceptible. La finale est courte et propre, avec une persistance saline qui donne envie de reprendre une gorgée.
Servir entre 8 et 10 °C dès ouverture, sans attendre. L'Argali 2025 est dans sa toute meilleure forme aujourd'hui : parfait à l'apéritif avec des tapas méditerranéens, une salade niçoise ou des brochettes de légumes grillés au zaatar.
L'avis de l'équipe
Le 2025 est arrivé avec ce qu'on attend : la framboise fraîche, la pêche, et cette finale saline qui fait qu'on ne repose pas son verre — à ouvrir sans culpabilité, c'est exactement pour ça qu'il a été vinifié.

Unit price perThe 2022 shows an intense blackish garnet colour with violet glints, reflecting a hot, dry vintage that concentrated the wine with authority. The nose is immediate and deep: jammy blackberry, blackcurrant, before the Mourvèdre slips in notes of cedar, leather and oriental spices over a background of dried garrigue. The palate is broad and voluminous, the tannins tight but perfectly coated, supported by a mineral freshness that keeps the whole from becoming heavy. The finish lingers on notes of mild pepper and toast, and hints at serious ageing potential until 2034.
Decant for at least an hour and serve between 17 and 18 °C. Tête de Bélier 2022 calls for cooking to match its density: a lamb chop with rosemary and confit garlic, a navarin of beef cheeks or a well-aged hard cheese from the Languedoc.
Our team's opinion
In this 2022, it is the Mourvèdre that makes the difference: it gives the blend that almost austere depth in its youth that promises a great deal. Open it tonight in a decanter, but above all keep a few bottles in the cellar for five years' time.

Unit price perLe 2024 se présente dans une robe sombre et profonde aux reflets sang-de-pigeon. Le nez est immédiatement engageant : cerise noire, fraise écrasée, mûre fraîche, avec une touche discrète de cacao et de bois toasté en arrière-plan. La bouche est ample dès l'attaque, les tanins bien fondus et soyeux, et le fruit garde le dessus sur l'ensemble, porté par une fraîcheur digeste qui évite tout écrasement. La finale est nette, sur le fruit et les épices douces — un Pic-Saint-Loup que l'on sert sans cérémonie mais qui ne déçoit jamais.
Servir entre 15 et 16 °C, éventuellement après une courte aération de vingt minutes. Le Loup du Pic 2024 s'installe facilement autour d'un parmentier de canard, d'une pizza aux champignons et truffe ou d'une planche de charcuteries du Languedoc.
L'avis de l'équipe
Le Mourvèdre en dominante sur un rouge à ce prix, c'est une vraie prise de risque qui paye — ça lui donne une profondeur qu'on ne cherche pas à ce niveau, et c'est très exactement ce qu'on aime chez Puech Haut.

Unit price perLe 2023 s'impose d'emblée par sa générosité aromatique, marque d'un millésime solaire où les nuits fraîches des Cévennes ont préservé toute la finesse du fruit. La robe est d'un grenat soutenu aux reflets rubis lumineux. Le nez est ouvert et expressif : framboise noire, mûre et prune se mêlent à des notes de violette et d'olive tapenade, avec un fond légèrement toasté apporté par l'élevage. La bouche est ronde et immédiatement séduisante, les tanins veloutés enrobant une matière généreuse, portée par une fraîcheur acidulée qui étire la finale sur des épices douces et du laurier. Ce 2023 peut se déboucher dès aujourd'hui.
Servir entre 16 et 17 °C après trente minutes de carafe. Le Château Lavabre 2023 s'accorde avec bonheur à une épaule d'agneau confite aux herbes de garrigue, une moussaka généreuse ou un fromage de brebis affiné du Languedoc.
L'avis de l'équipe
Le 2023 est le millésime du Lavabre qu'on conseille à ceux qui n'ont pas de patience : la Syrah y est solaire et généreuse, le fruit est là tout de suite — sans attendre, sans s'excuser.
The winemaking firmly defines this style: direct pressing, fermentation at a very low temperature of 12 to 14 °C, and malolactic fermentation deliberately blocked to retain the grapes' natural acidity. The colour is a bright pale pink with pearly highlights. The nose is clean and spontaneous, with fresh pomelo and white peach flesh, and a floral touch of peony that lightens the whole. The palate is lively and crisp from the attack, carried by a thirst-quenching tension that fades into a clean, short finish: exactly what you want when the sun is beating down.
Serve well chilled, between 8 and 10 °C, without waiting. The 2024 Argali rosé is made for spontaneous moments: a board of fine charcuterie as an aperitif, grilled prawns with lime or a rocket and feta salad on a summer evening.
Our team's opinion
A rosé cut out for the here and now: that tangy tension of pomelo and white peach doesn't take long to find. You open it, serve it chilled, and it does exactly what you ask of it.
Château Puech-Haut: Languedoc excellence, between power and elegance
Estate name
Château Puech-Haut
Wine region
Languedoc
Appellations and terroirs
Château Puech-Haut flourishes north-east of Montpellier, on the heights of Saint-Drézéry, in the Coteaux du Languedoc. The vineyard also extends into the Pic Saint-Loup area, a cooler and more mineral terroir. The soils combine clay, limestone and rounded pebbles, giving the vines perfect drainage and ideal temperature regulation. Bathed in Mediterranean sunshine and cooled by sea breezes, this terroir allows slow and complete ripening, which favours the aromatic intensity and the structure of the wines.
Signature grape varieties
Syrah, Grenache, Carignan (old vines aged 50 to 60 years), Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne
Philosophy and history
Château Puech-Haut was born of one man’s determination, Gérard Bru, to create a great wine on land that was then dominated by olive trees. In 1980, he acquired an untouched hillside and embarked on a titanic task: replanting noble grape varieties, restructuring the soils, building a winery and forging a strong identity. His vision: to reveal the potential of the Languedoc through powerful yet balanced wines that are representative of their terroir. Since then, Puech-Haut has become a leading estate, combining tradition, modernity and a commitment to quality.
Production specifics
The estate practises sustainable viticulture, without systematic treatments, with respect for the vines and the soil. Biodiversity is encouraged, ploughing is kept moderate, and every intervention is carefully considered to support the vines. The harvest is done by hand, in small crates, with rigorous sorting. In the cellar, the approach is plot by plot: each batch is vinified separately, extractions are gentle and temperatures are controlled. Some cuvées are aged in concrete tanks, others in French oak barrels, depending on the style sought.
Signature cuvées
The “Tête de Bélier” cuvée represents the top of the estate’s range: a blend of Syrah and Grenache, dense and complex, with remarkable ageing potential. “Château Lavabre”, from the Pic Saint-Loup terroir, delivers a fresh, structured and mineral red, among the finest in the appellation. “Le Loup du Pic” offers an elegant introduction to this same terroir. Among the rosés, “Argali” is widely acclaimed for its elegance and pure aromatic expression: it is one of the most popular IGP rosés in France. Each cuvée tells the story of a terroir, a vintage and a precise human choice.
Recognition
Château Puech-Haut is unanimously praised by critics: scores regularly exceed 90 points from Robert Parker, Jeb Dunnuck and James Suckling. The Guide Hachette, Bettane & Desseauve and Wine Spectator all report the estate’s rise in quality over the past two decades. Added to this are numerous medals at the Concours Général Agricole, the Concours des Vins du Sud and Decanter. The artistic singularity of its barrels, painted by contemporary artists, also contributes to the estate’s cultural reach.
International reach
Exported to more than 50 countries, Château Puech-Haut is found on the finest tables, from Parisian bistros to Michelin-starred restaurants. Professionals appreciate the consistency of the wines and their ability to charm in their youth while offering remarkable ageing potential. Wine merchants and sommeliers find cuvées offering exemplary value for money. Puech-Haut’s success also rests on a strong, recognisable image, combining visual modernity, regional roots and consistent excellence.
This unique positioning, at the crossroads of Languedoc tradition and contemporary ambition, makes Château Puech-Haut one of the most dynamic and respected estates in the south of France.
