On the nose, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherry compote, and dried herbs, layered with hints of garrigue, cracked black pepper, and a touch of violets.

The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a rich core of dark fruit—plum, blackcurrant, and a whisper of raspberry coulis—balanced by a supple tannic structure and lively acidity. There's a rustic elegance typical of the Sablet terroir, with earthy undertones, a touch of liquorice, and a subtle mineral streak that carries through to a persistent, slightly spicy finish

You’ll find Pablo Höcht’s Domaine nestled high up in the village of Seguret. An idyllic place that we encourage you to visit, a small village perched in the Dentelles de Montmirail. bursting with Provencal charm. You must follow a dirt road right until the end to reach Pablo’s little paradise. His German parents are both artists, his father received a grant in the 70s to move there and paint the Provence region. Pablo uses a different painting on his labels every year and sometimes his winery is used as a gallery. Pablo came here in 2010 and moved towards organic and biodynamic farming while being the Maître de Chais for Chateau St Cosme. The 7ha property is spread across Sablet, Seguret and has hillside and plain vineyards. Pablo makes honest, refreshing, and thirst-quenching wines.
