Château Les Ormes de Pez

Château Les Ormes de Pez is one of St-Estèphe`s leading Cru Bourgeois properties. It was bought by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1936 and is now owned and run by Jean-Michel Cazes. The latter owns Lynch-Bages The estate is located just outside the village of Pez in the northern part of the St-Estèphe commune.

There are 32 hectares of vineyards, which lie on soils rich in gravel on a subsoil of sand and clay. They are planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats. The wine is then matured in a combination of one and two-year-old barrels from Lynch-Bages.

In the last decade, the wines have become richer and more fruit-driven - selection at harvest has become more rigorous and the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend has been increased. The wines normally require at least 5 years of bottle ageing to show at their best.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. The 2008 Ormes de Pez is one of the few successful wines from St Estèphe this vintage. With a lovely, enticing nose, it is full of the dense, dark fruit of the commune but with a creamy, raspberry twist to the finish. The tannins are so ripe they are almost powdery on the palate – incredible considering how linear and firm the majority of wines from this commune were – and at this price, it’s an absolute bargain.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. Named after the old elm trees ('Ormes') that grew in its grounds, near the hamlet of Pez, this is atypical for St Estèphe in its sheer charm and richness of fruit. It is mouthfilling and modern without losing its sense of origin - its powerful tannins are typical of 2006 and it brims with earthy St Estèphe character. Right from the lush, sweet pure cassis nose to the lovely black cherry finish this is extremely seductive, helped in no small part by a large splash of Merlot in the blend. This is the best value wine you will find in St Estèphe in 2006 and in my opinion, the best Ormes ever. (Simon Staples, BBR Fine Wine Director, May-09) MORE Drink: 2012 -2022 . BBR Score: 16.5/20.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. The Jean-Michel Cazes estates have had a great year in 2005, and this one is no different. This is benchmark St Estèphe, with lots of earthy minerality, this has far more generosity than usual. Extremely accessible, the spicy nose with notes of licorice and pepper leads on to a rich balanced palate with lashings of sweet loganberries and cassis with tobacco hints. This is at once classy, concentrated and quaffable, but with great ageing potential too. MORE Drink: 2012 -2020 . BBR Score: 16.5/20. Jancis Score: 15/20. Parker Score: 86 /100. Wine Spectator Score: 85 -88 /100.
