"This full-bodied wine is bursting with generous fruit and boasts a refined structure. Already well-balanced, notes of blackberries burst forth, complemented by hints of spice and dark chocolate. Crafted by the Lynch-Bages team, it exhibits a similar elegance. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2017) Delivered in a wooden crate for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding the “Pickup Point” delivery method).

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The elm trees are gone, but the hamlet of Pez is still home to this lovely estate, acquired by Jean-Michel Cazes. The winemaking process is overseen by the team at Château Lynch-Bages, lending the wine a touch of soul and, above all, a great deal of elegance. With more meticulous and precise winemaking than in the past, the wines have gained in refinement.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2018 guide) 91/100 (Excellent wine)
About the wine:
The 2016 Les Ormes de Pez is a deep garnet-purple color, with a nose featuring notes of red and black berries, earth, sage, and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and chewy, with herbal notes.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2019 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
With a beautifully structured profile, it offers all the charm of the vintage and a very appealing roundness.
About the estate:
This charming estate owes its name to the beautiful elm trees that once graced its garden. Owned by the Cazes family (Lynch-Bages) since the 1930s, Ormes de Pez produces a wine that captivates wine lovers with its full-bodied, rich, and alluring bouquet. It is generally best enjoyed relatively young and has demonstrated consistent quality for over a decade, thanks to the work of a well-oiled team. A great value.

About the wine:
Tasted from the barrel. This dense wine is bursting with generous fruit and has a refined structure. Already well-balanced, notes of blackberries burst forth, complemented by hints of spice and dark chocolate. Produced by the Lynch-Bages team, it displays a similar elegance.
