The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Benefiting from the same meticulous care as Château Lynch-Bages—both owned by the Cazes family—Château Ormes de Pez is managed with all the precision of a Grand Cru Classé. This top-tier Saint-Estèphe, set slightly inland from the Gironde, delivers outstanding value for money. It continues to win over wine lovers with its generous, perfumed bouquet and irresistible charm.
Wine The 2019 Red Saint-Estèphe Château Ormes de Pez reveals a rich, generous, and powerful style. Focused on ripe dark fruit flavors, it’s beautifully rounded, with supple tannins that soften the finish. A reliable classic—ready to enjoy now, or to cellar for another five years. Rated 93/100 by the French wine guide RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested and selectively sorted in the vineyard. Traditional vinification. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 45% of which are new.
