Château Les Ormes-de-Pez

Producer description of "Château les Ormes de Pez"

The vineyard is located in the commune of Pez, included in the name, in the Saint-Estèphe area of the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). In the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid, it was last classified as "Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel" in 2003. The estate originated in the 18th century from vineyards of the Château de Pez. In 1930 it came into the possession of Jean-Charles Cazes (1877-1972), who was succeeded by his grandson Jean-Michel Cazes (1935-2023). The JM Cazes family business also owns Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac. The vinification of Les Ormes-de-Pez took place there until 1981, when a new winery was opened. The vineyards cover 33 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lived red wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in used Lynch-Bages barriques.
