Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
75cl * 13% ABV * Saint-Estephe, Bordeaux
Chateau Les Ormes de Pez is one of St-Estephe's leading Cru Bourgeois properties. It is owned and run by Jean-Michel Cazes who is also managing director of Chateau Lynch-Bages. They have 32 hectares of vineyards, which lie on soils that are rich in gravel on a subsoil of sand and clay. The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.
This is a beautifully mature Bordeaux. Brick red in colour, a leathery nose, with notes of stewed cassis, earth and soft, developed tannins. Medium bodied, very smooth and easy to drink, this is a wine to enjoy now.
