Château Les Ormes de Pez 2011 - Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel
Located in the north of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Les Ormes de Pez is a historic estate whose origins date back to the 18th century. Owned by Jean-Michel Cazes, who also owns the grand cru classé Château Lynch-Bages, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir of sandy-clay gravel, ideal for growing Bordeaux grape varieties.
The 2011 vintage was marked by a hot, dry spring, followed by a cool, wet summer and a hot, dry September, providing ideal conditions for gradual, even ripening of the grapes.
