Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 51% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 45% new oak, the 2017 Chateau Ormes De Pez sports a healthy ruby color as well as classic notes of black cherries, mulberries, and blackcurrants interwoven with green tobacco and lead pencil notes. With medium to full body, ripe tannins, and good acidity, it's as classic as they come. It has some charm and approachability already (no doubt due to the high Merlot content) yet should evolve for two decades or more.

About the Producer

Château Ormes de Pez, a Cru Bourgeois of Saint-Estèphe, is a historic name in the Médoc whose origins date back to the 18th century. It was then known as Domaine de Pez, a term meaning "peace" in an ancient local dialect. The Cazes family, already at the helm of the prestigious Château Lynch-Bages, acquired this beautiful estate in 1940, breathing new life into its wines. Legend has it that the name "Ormes" comes from the majestic elm trees that once graced the property. Today, Château Ormes de Pez produces red wines that elegantly reflect the unique terroir of Saint-Estèphe. Ormes de Pez Saint-Estèphe red wines are distinguished by their seductive aromatic profile and ample texture, offering notes of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, enhanced by silky tannins. These wines are regularly praised for their harmonious balance and aging potential. A sure bet in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, promising refined evolution in the cellar. Among the most closely followed vintages is Château Les Ormes-de-Pez, a useful benchmark for understanding the estate's identity. At Château Ormes de Pez, this consistency between terroir, style, and high standards explains the enduring attachment of wine lovers.
