Château de Pez – Saint-Estèphe – Red – 2016:

 

Château de Pez: The Historic & Structured Saint-Estèphe Gem

Château de Pez, one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, is a true benchmark of the Cru Bourgeois category, consistently rivaling its Classified Growth neighbors in quality. Hailing from the powerful terroir of Saint-Estèphe, this wine embodies the structure, depth, and nobility of a classic Left Bank Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes (Classic Vintage Profile)

• Appearance: An intense, deep, dark ruby color, indicating its concentration and aging potential.
• Nose: Highly aromatic and complex, featuring concentrated black fruit (cassis, blackberry), licorice, tobacco, and graphite notes, beautifully framed by subtle, elegant oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured, the palate delivers the signature chewy, fine-grained tannins of Saint-Estèphe. It offers remarkable balance and a very long, fresh, and distinguished finish, ensuring an excellent evolution in the cellar.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve at 63°F (17°C). Decanting for one to two hours is highly recommended for younger vintages to allow the wine’s complex aromas to fully blossom.

• Suggested Pairings: Stuffed Beef Tenderloin with Mushrooms and Herbs, Oxtail Ragout, Venison Haunch, and a selection of mature, hard cheeses.
