    A Fine and Elegant Red Wine from Saint-Estèphe

    "Blueberry, raspberry and cassis, there is concentration but also juice. Merlot-dominant (following a restructuring of the vineyard to better align grapes with terroir) with bite and freshness. A lovely smoky edge here, this is another successful vintage for Ormes de Pez. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.69ph. 45% new oak. A yield of 42hl/ha which was not as low here as at Lynch Bages because of more clay in the soils, and because the Merlot was less impacted by the drought than the Cabernet Sauvignon."

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Château Ormes de Pez, founded in the 18th century, is located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Médoc. Under the ownership of the Cazes family since 1940, the estate has undergone significant renovations and modernizations. The name "Pez" is derived from the local dialect for "peace," and also refers to the elm trees that once flourished on the property before their decline in Europe.

    The wines are produced with the same meticulous attention to detail as those of the family's renowned Pauillac Cru Classé, Château Lynch-Bages. Embodying the typical style of Saint-Estèphe, the wines of Château Ormes de Pez combine a generous, vibrant fruit character with a fleshy texture and powerful structure, giving them very good aging potential.
