Château 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 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.
What the critics say:
"The 2022 Ormes de Pez, aged in 45% new oak, has a very perfumed and pure bouquet featuring black cherry, raspberry, cedar and iodine scents. Perhaps it needs a little more Saint Estephe character to filter through? The palate is medium-bodied and well balanced, with grainy tannins and a core of black fruit mixed with cracked black pepper and a pinch of sea salt. There is pleasing sapidity and a touch of graphite lingering on the Pauillac-styled aftertaste. This is very fine."
"Trace of gunsmoke on the opening, needs a moment to clear and open to show the rich ripe brambled fruit. This is enjoyable, orange peel, mandarin, pomegranate, cloves, flash of crème de cassis on the finish. 45% new oak for ageing, 40ha vineyard, Cazes family owners."
