Description

Chateau Les Ormes de Pez – Saint-Estephe 2017 3L

“The 2017 Les Ormes de Pez was matured in 45% new oak with 13.42% alcohol. None of the vines were touched by frost. Cropped at round 50hl/ha, it has a clean, pure red cherry, blackcurrant and cedar-scented bouquet, more Pauillac in style that Saint-Estephe. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannin that feel more malleable that previous vintages at this stage, a little saline in the mouth with a silky smooth finish. This will be delicious over the next couple of decades and I suspect it will be more approachable than the 2016. Don’t ignore this. (NM)” – 91-93 points. Vinous (2018)
