15 Rene Gabriel
96: Wusste bei der Fassprobe besser zu gefallen als dann in der Flasche! Fassprobe (16/20): Rauchiges, leicht korinthiges Bouquet, geradlinige Frucht. Sehr fein im Gaumen, fast zu fein für einen St. Estèphe, geschliffene Tannine, fruchtiges Finish, tendiert zu früher Genussreife. 98: Dunkles Granat, grosser Wasserrand. Zurückhaltendes, leicht krautiges Bouquet, florale Töne, erdig. Im Gaumen spröde, metallische Gerbstoffe, fehlt an Fleisch und Charme, ein knochiger Wein, der sich im Moment in einer ungünstigen Zwischenphase befindet. (15/20). 06: Direkt aus dem Châteaukeller für eine grosses Bankett auf Cordeillan Bages angeliefert. Schlank, angenehm, leicht kapselige Tannine, das Finale kalt mit grünen Noten. Höchste Zeit, um jetzt den Rest zu entkorken. vorbei
Producer
Château Les Ormes de Pez
Located in the region of Saint-Estèphe, Château Ormes de Pez takes its name from the village where it lies - Pez. The first part of its name can be translated to "elm" which is what decorates its labels. The estate dates back to the 18th century, but was purchased by the Cazes family of Château Lynch Bages in the late 1920s. Its 38 hectares are fairly widely dispersed on different soils with around one-third on gravel and clay, another on gravel and sand and another part on pure gravel which lies close to Tronquoy-Lalande. The vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (33%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (2%). In many ways, the wine is produced like Lynch Bages, traditionally yet with some modern techniques enabling the purity of the fruit to remain intact while still retaining the character of its terroir. It is more certainly one of the more sought after wines hailing from Saint-Estèphe as it tends to have notable depth of fruit and age well.
