Chateau Les Ormes de Pez, Cru Bourgeois St. Estephe 2019 wirra-wirra-vineyards Pale and brightThis is solid and compact at first tasting, perhaps to be expected in a year like 2019 because, as usual, Merlot comprises half the blend at this property. It feels a bit hidden; a wine we expect to be better at the chteau. But there is plenty to admire in the wine's construction, which is balanced and well thought out. Drink 2024 2032. Blend: 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot
