From the 2020 vintage, it carries the classic Bordeaux structure and depth associated with its famous Left Bank origin, while remaining supple and accessible in youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, expect a deep ruby color with good concentration. The nose typically leans toward blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, graphite, and a touch of spice, with the 2020 vintage likely adding ripe, generous fruit character.\n\nOn the palate, this is a medium- to full-bodied red with firm but refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a savory, mineral edge that speaks to Saint-Estèphe. It should show dark berry fruit, subtle oak spice, and a balanced finish, with the structure to develop nicely over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond de Pez comes from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux, where gravelly and clay-limestone soils help produce wines with backbone, freshness, and aromatic complexity. As a second wine, it is generally made from younger vines and lots not selected for the grand vin, with vinification aimed at preserving fruit purity and the estate’s signature structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, and rich mushroom dishes. It also works well with hard cheeses and classic French cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opened young to allow the aromas and tannins to open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau de Pez is one of the historic estates of Saint-Estèphe, with roots dating back centuries and a strong reputation for producing classically styled Left Bank Bordeaux. The estate has long been respected for its reliability and character, and its second wine offers a more immediately drinkable introduction to the château’s style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Second De Pez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252440486225,"sku":"MS-78738","price":36.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/78738.png?v=1783444658","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/second-de-pez-2-nd-vin-chateau-de-pez-saint-estephe-2020","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
