The Wine
The historic property Château Ormes de Pez takes its name from the nearby village of Pez, while les Ormes refers to a copse of elm trees, long since disappeared. Today the estate is owned by Jean-Michel Cazes, also owner of the cru classé Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac. Indeed the barrels for ageing the wine (usually for 15 months) are from Lynch-Bages, and the wines are made by the same team, led by Daniel Llose. William Kelley of Wine Advocate describes it as, "broad and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit and plenty of powdery structuring tannin", while Suckling writes of it as "a juicy and fruity red with blackberry, black cherry and chocolate character". Best to tuck away for a few years to enjoy its true opulence.
"A juicy and fruity red with blackberry, black cherry and chocolate character. Full and round"
