Description

Chateau Les Ormes-de-Pez Saint-Estephe Rouge 2011

Château Ormes de Pez belongs to the Médoc landscape since the 18th century. Located West of Saint-Estèphe and bordering the hamlet of Pez, the estate owes its name to a magnificent grove of elm trees, which no longer exists today

Traditional vinification methods lasting on average 20 days were used for all vats, with rapid alcoholic fermentation. Running off began on 15 October. Barrelling started after malolactic fermentation at the end of December, to begin 16 months of wood ageing.

The wine is fresh, refined and velvety with intense purplish garnet colour and a characteristic nose marked by aromas of fresh black berries (blackberries, blackcurrants). Ormes de Pez offers big well-rounded tannins, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also fruity aromas brought by the Merlot, and a complexity introduced by toasted notes acquired from ageing in barrels

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
