Ormes De Pez Saint-Estèphe - 37,5 cl, 2023

Ormes de Pez Saint-Estèphe 2023 in half-bottle format offers a classic taste of left-bank Bordeaux with the added charm of a smaller, more approachable size. From one of Saint-Estèphe’s respected names, it brings together structure, freshness, and the savory depth that makes this appellation so admired among Bordeaux lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby color with youthful purple highlights. The nose typically leans toward blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of graphite or spice, reflecting the firm, mineral-driven style associated with Saint-Estèphe. On the palate, the wine is likely medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, good freshness, and a core of dark fruit framed by earthy, lightly savory notes. The 2023 vintage should show early appeal, though it also has the balance to evolve gracefully over the next several years.

Production
Saint-Estèphe’s gravelly and clay-rich soils give the wine its signature power, freshness, and firm backbone, while the maritime influence of Bordeaux helps preserve lift and balance in the fruit. Grapes are typically harvested with careful parcel selection, and vinification is carried out to preserve purity of fruit and structure, usually followed by maturation in oak to add complexity and polish.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; a brief decant is recommended if drinking young to help the aromas open and soften the tannins.
