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. His winery was built recently and is fiercely guarded by 3 kissing lamas and his dog Djoudj who himself is a hugger! This place oozes with serenity. I would move there in a heartbeat.

Pablo makes honest, refreshing, and thirst-quenching wines. These are not your typical strong Southern Rhone Grenache based wines. Like the place they come from they are bursting of energy and freshness. His white wine, Séguret blanc is a vibrant blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Picpoul and Viognier, with massales selection coming from the Hermitage Hill and Condrieu. It retains freshness and vibrancy even if the wines went through complete malolactic fermentation.

Côtes du Rhône red is almost entirely Grenache the vinification is whole bunch, semi-carbonic maceration followed by ageing in concrete tank. Pablo incorporates some press juice to give a kick and structure. Overall, a banging red!

Sablet is Grenache with 10% Mourvèdre which brings structure and freshness.

Séguret is a typical Southern Rhône Grenache Mourvèdre Syrah blend, which is a little more serious.

Pablo and his herd have literally seduced us with his honesty and open arms. It is a pleasure to be his first ever partner in the UK!
