Chateau Les Ormes de Pez
Chateau Les Ormes de Pez is one of St. Estephe’s leading Cru Bourgeois estates. The chateau is owned by Jean-Michel Cazes and situated in the village of Pez. The 32 hectare vineyards lie on gravel rich soils with a sandy, clayey subsoil. The grape varietals grown at Chateau Les Ormes de Pez are 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, these are all hand harvested, then vinified in staineless steel vats and then the wine is matured in barrels. Over the years, selection at harvest has become more rigorous and the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend has been increased.
