Château Ormes de Pez

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet blend from the Médoc's northern edge.

Château Ormes de Pez sits in Saint-Estèphe, the northernmost appellation of the Médoc, where gravelly soils and a maritime climate shape wines of structure and depth. The estate produces a Saint-Estèphe that blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—a composition typical of the Left Bank, where Cabernet-led assemblages develop the firm tannins and aging potential Saint-Estèphe is known for. The wine has drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Saint-Estèphe itself occupies a distinctive place in Bordeaux: less polished than Pauillac to the south, its wines tend toward earthiness and power rather than elegance, with the structure to age steadily over decades.
