CHATEAU LES ORMES-DE-PEZ Château Les Ormes-de-Pez is owned by the Cazes family, who also own Château Lynch-Bages. The estate has 33 hectares of vineyards planted with 55 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot and 10 Cabernet Franc. The property is located in the northern part of the St-Estèphe appellation near to the village of Pez. The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats. The wine is then matured in barriques for about 15 months, with a proportion of 40 new oak each year. As Stephen Brook wrote in The Complete Bordeaux, "Ormes-de-Pez is a generously flavoured wine, usually full-bodied and invariably satisfying".
