Notes

This Rouzaud/Roederer owned St Estephe chateau is managed by Nicolas Glumineau and the Pichon Lalande team. Alas, hail has reduced volumes here by 45%. There’s lots of material here with good quality fruit tannins. Quite robust and foursquare on the evidence of this tasting. Hopefully its edges will be resolved during élevage. 59% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot.

Notes

The 2022 Château de Pez (limited to 18,000 bottles due to hail damage in June) has a very pure nose with something of a Burgundian allure: a mélange of blue and black fruit, wilted violet and graphite borrowed from down in Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins. Exquisite balance and poise, very harmonious with an intense yet paradoxically tender finish. Bon vin. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
