Château Ormes de Pez 2025

Presentation

Château Ormes de Pez belongs to the Médoc landscape since the 18th century. Located West of Saint-Estèphe and bordering the hamlet of Pez, the estate owes its name to a magnificent grove of elm trees, which no longer exists today. Château Ormes de Pez is the second property – after Château Lynch-Bages – acquired by the Cazes family in 1939.

Terroir

The vineyard extends over two distinct terroirs: the Cabernets thrive on the gravelly parcels composed of quartz and rolled pebbles whereas Merlot is best-suited to the cooler, sandy-clay parcels.

Winemaking

For about 20 days, alcoholic fermentation and maceration are ensured by progressive cycles of rackings and pump-overs, a traditional winemaking process that promotes the gentle extraction of color and tannins.

Ageing

Aged in barrels for 16 months (20% new).

Tasting

Château Ormes de Pez 2025 displays a deep colour and an elegant nose with fruity and spicy notes. The palate, rich and well-balanced, is appealing for its finesse and roundness. The tannins, silky and well integrated, bring structure and harmony. An elegant and accomplished vintage, showing good ageing potential.
