Château Les Ormes de Pez

Château Les Ormes-de-Pez (French for The Elms of Pez) is a winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Bordeaux wine region of France, near the hamlet of Pez. The wine produced here was classified as one of 9 Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnels in the 2003 listing.

Though this classification is currently annulled, it is expected to be revived by the 2009 vintage, but without use of the quality divisions such as "exceptionnel".

The Château and buildings date from 1792, constructed after the division and sale of Château de Pez as a result of the French Revolution. During the 19th century it was owned by Marcel Alibert, also the owner of Château Belgrave, until it was sold in 1927 to the Société Civile du Haut Médoc. Financial trouble forced the estate to be sold on to Jean-Charles Cazes in 1930, who passed it on to his son André Cazes.

To date the estate is owned by the Cazes family, also owners of Château Lynch-Bages. For many years the vinification took place at Lynch-Bages, but the cuvier and chai of Ormes-de-Pez were modernised before the 1981 vintage. After a long period of management by Jean-Michel Cazes, he has been succeeded by his son Jean-Charles Cazes.

The vineyard area, divided into two blocks north and south of the village of Saint-Estèphe, extends 33 hectares (82 acres), with the grape varieties of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot.

The annual production of the Grand vin Château Ormes de Pez is typically 15,000 cases.

Left Bank Bordeaux France
A real reaction of 'wow' to Ormes de Pez this year. It's punching well above its weight. Very rich colour and texture. Nose of ripe fruit, cassis and blueberry. A big wine, very fine tannins give the palate a real presence. Rich and succulent, well balanced on the finish between the deep ripe black cherry juice and the firm but not over-the-top tannins.

2001 CHÂTEAU LES ORMES DE PEZ Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel Saint Estèphe
2001 CHÂTEAU LES ORMES DE PEZ Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel Saint Estèphe
Left Bank Bordeaux France
This has all the class of a great quality claret, drinking beautifully (as it will for another couple of years). In the glass the wine shows some indication of ageing with warm, seductive aromas of cedar and spice. Fat and sweet on the attack with mid weight fruit and a lovely long finish.
Unit price £36.95 bottles
