"A Saint-Estèphe at this price is a real bargain!"

Perched on one of the highest points in the commune of Saint-Estèphe, in the hamlet known as “St-Corbian,” lies Château Morin. Owned by Château de Pez since 2005, it benefits from a superbly exposed terroir with maximum sunlight and a microclimate ideal for producing great wines. No wonder this wine is renowned for its refinement and rich, indulgent character. One of the best values in the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation!

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Posted on 11/11/2023

Cherry red with a ruby core. On the nose: dark forest fruits, earthy, vegetal, undergrowth, roots. Needs to breathe. On the palate, plenty of juicy forest fruits and red berries, a slight pleasant sweetness from the ripe fruit, iron, herbs, and nicely present tannins that provide grip and tension. Definitely a meaty structure. Medium body and a similarly medium finish. In short, I say “yes, please” to this elegant wine. Score: 16/20
