This stylish St-Estèphe has been run by the Cazes for generations, the same family behind Lynch Bages, and as such the winemaking ethos is handled very similarly to its illustrious Pauillac stable-mate. With an impressive track record and fair price, it punches well above its Cru Bourgeois status. The vineyard area, divided into two blocks north and south of the village of Saint-Estèphe, extends across 33 hectares and comprise Cabernet Sauvignon (c.70%), Merlot (c.20%) and Cabernet Franc (c.10%). In recent years the wines have become richer and softer with more concentrated flavours of fruit which has been the result of using more new oak barrels during the ageing process, as well as an increase in Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend.

The 2022 Ormes de Pez is matured in 45% new oak for a planned 16 months. It has a perfumed and floral bouquet, quite sensual for a Saint-Estephe, developing blue fruit with time in the glass. The oak is neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a high-toned and racy opening. Good acidity, the Merlot (51%) occupies the driving seat and ensures its silky-textured finish, a mote of chalk dust on the aftertaste. Just needs its elevage to knit it all together.
