Description
A classic Left Bank Bordeaux, Château de Pez dates to the 15th century and is, along with Calon, the oldest wine estate in Saint-Estèphe. The fascinating history of the château has seen many changes of ownership over the centuries and was most recently purchased by Champagne Louis Roederer in 1995, where it will likely stay. This wine is made from 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. We would pair this with lamb burgers. Displaying notes of peony, violet, and raspberry, its nose is vibrant and full of promise. The palate is long and powerful, with both floral and fruity notes such as wild strawberry and cherry and grippy, well-integrated tannins. It is the estate's second wine and a fresher, juicier expression than its peer.
