2017 Château Ormes de Pez (Subskription)

Ein weiterer hoch interessanter Saint-Éstèphe in einer noch interessanteren Preisklasse! Unter der Regie von J. M. Cazes wird der Cru Bourgeois von Jahr zu Jahr immer besser. Da stört auch ein vergleichsweise schwieriges Jahr nicht!

James Suckling: 92/100 Punkte
"The density for the vintage is impressive with dark-berry and cherry character. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Linear and driven." 

Wine Spectator 88-91/100 Punkte
"Open-knit, with a core of plum and cherry fruit carried by light cedar, tobacco and warm stone notes. Shows a light smoky echo at the end."

Wine Enthusiast 93/100 Punkte 
"Barrel Sample. This finely structured wine is balanced with nothing in excess offering attractive acidity and a light touch of tannin. It is fruity, bright and developing quickly. Drink from 2023."

Decanter 92/100 Punkte
"Ormes has managed another good vintage after a run of them. This is a lovely wine and a buy for me. Succulent, bristling and charming, it has juicy brambled fruit extraction and tension. It doesn't take itself too seriously, just asking to be loved. The fruit spectrum is rich with blueberries and damsons, with integrity and a swirl of vanilla bean oak. Includes 6% Cabernet Franc in the blend. No need to wait too long for this. 45% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 – 2035"

Vinous (Neal Martin): 91-93/100 Punkte
"The 2017 Les Ormes de Pez was matured in 45% new oak with 13.42% alcohol. None of the vines were touched by frost. Cropped at round 50hl/ha, it has a clean, pure red cherry, blackcurrant and cedar-scented bouquet, more Pauillac in style than Saint-Estèphe. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannin that feel more malleable than previous vintages at this stage, a little saline in the mouth with a silky smooth finish. This will be delicious over the next couple of decades and I suspect it will be more approachable than the 2016. Don't ignore this. Trinkreife: 2021-2036"
