Chateau les Ormes de Pez, Saint-Estephe, 2005
Twenty-one years on, a Saint-Estèphe that proves the point about Cru Bourgeois cellaring. Les Ormes de Pez has been owned by the Cazes family — the Pauillac dynasty behind Lynch-Bages — since 1939, and it was promoted to Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in the 2020 classification. The Cazes touch shows: structured, deeply colored, built on a Cabernet Sauvignon backbone, but with the saline grip and minerally austerity that defines great Saint-Estèphe. The 2005 vintage was a legendary one for Bordeaux — warm, dry, structured — and at two decades on the wine is fully in its window: tannins resolved, fruit shifted toward leather and tobacco and forest floor, the kind of mature claret that reminds you why people cellar this stuff.
