2019 | Chateau de Pez | Chateau de Pez

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 de Pez comes tumbling out of the glass with an astonishingly beautiful perfume of lilacs, black cherries and black raspberries over a core of stewed plums, clove oil, dark chocolate and Sichuan pepper.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This year's blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 de Pez comes tumbling out of the glass with an astonishingly beautiful perfume of lilacs, black cherries and black raspberries over a core of stewed plums, clove oil, dark chocolate and Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is jam-packed with energetic black fruits, supported by a firm foundation of ripe, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and perfumed. I love where this once-malingering château is headed—bravo to winemaker Nicolas Glumineau from Pichon Lalande!

• James Suckling: Sweet berries with cedar and sandalwood, as well as flowers, such as lavender. Perfumed. Full-to medium-bodied with very polished and refined tannins that run the length of the wine. Very attractive and balanced.

Producer Information

Château de Pez is one of Bordeaux's oldest wine estates, situated in the western part of Saint-Estèphe. The wine is based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in roughly equal measures. The property covers around 48 contiguous hectares (118 acres), of which about 42ha (103 acres) is under vine. Around 50 percent of plantings are Cabernet Sauvignon, with 43 percent Merlot, 4 percent Petit Verdot and 3 percent Cabernet Franc. The proportion of Merlot has increased since the Rouzaud family of Champagne Louis Roederer took over the property in 1995. Before this Cabernet Sauvignon accounted for about 70 percent of the planted area. The family has invested heavily in both the vineyards and in winemaking equipment. The vineyard sits on a high plateau, sloping from 18 meters in the south to 12 meters in the north (60 to 40ft). Soils are comprised of about a meter of Günzian gravel over the Saint-Estèphe bedrock of limestone and clay. Old ditches drain water towards the roads which surround the property.
