Ormes De Pez Saint-Estèphe, 2020

Ormes de Pez Saint-Estèphe 2020 is a classic Bordeaux red from one of the Médoc’s most respected appellations, offering the depth, structure, and refined character that Saint-Estèphe is known for. Crafted in a vintage widely praised for its balance and concentration, it combines dark-fruited intensity with the firm backbone and ageing potential that make this commune so prized by collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby to garnet colour, hinting at its concentration and youthful vitality. The nose is expected to be expressive and layered, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, alongside the savoury, earthy nuances that often define Saint-Estèphe. On the palate, it should feel structured and polished, with ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and fresh acidity lending both drive and precision. The finish is likely to be long and savoury, with mineral and toasted oak tones depending on the élevage. This is a wine built for cellaring and should continue to evolve beautifully over the coming years, gaining complexity and softness with age.

Production
Ormes de Pez comes from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils mixed with clay and limestone help produce wines with power, freshness, and age-worthy structure. The 2020 vintage benefited from warm, dry conditions that supported even ripening, while Saint-Estèphe’s cooler influence helped preserve balance and aromatic lift.
