The 2016 de Pez appears to be benefitting from a long-term replanting program at the estate. This is a blend of 53% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5% Petit Verdot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc. The IPT is quite high at 80, and there is 13.9% alcohol. It has a pure and comely bouquet with black cherries and blackcurrant pastilles, just a touch of crushed violets that emerge with time. The palate is really quite lovely: very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite saline in the mouth, perhaps the finest tannic structure that I have encountered during many years of tasting this Saint Estèphe, with a long persistent finish. Maybe this is the "dark horse" of the appellation this year.
Château de Pez stands as one of Saint-Estèphe's most respected estates, producing classically structured red wines that exemplify the region's powerful terroir. Located in the northern Médoc, this historic château crafts wines from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, varieties that thrive in the region's gravelly plateaus and clay soils. The resulting wines are well-balanced and age-worthy, displaying the characteristic saline minerality and structured tannins that define Saint-Estèphe's finest expressions.
These red wines showcase the versatility that makes them ideal for fine dining and private collections. Their balanced complexity pairs beautifully with a range of dishes: from grilled lamb and beef to duck, mushrooms, and roasted root vegetables. Aged cheeses, charcuterie, and tomato-based dishes with aromatic spices also complement the wine's persistent character and long finish. At 13.5% alcohol, Château de Pez delivers depth without heaviness, making it an excellent choice for those seeking authentic Bordeaux quality for yacht, villa, or cellar investment.
