2nd Pez 1500ml

The second wine of Château de Pez. A jovial, lively character! Bordeaux, Saint-Estèphe, laid-back and relaxed. The pleasure of a glass of wine, fruity and smooth.

Winemaker notes

The wine is fresh, rich and well-balanced on the palate with a precise finish underpinned by delicious tannins.

2020

James Suckling 90-91: A medium-bodied red with blackberries and walnuts and some chocolate and wet-earth undertones. Juicy and approachable already.

Decanter 92: Herbs, aniseed and liquorice combined with red and black fruits. Generous, friendly, juicy, supple, but nicely textured and with a lovely balance. Creamy, chalky and also austere, with bright red fruits, acidity and a texture which lingers on the tongue. It’s not plush or mouthfilling, but it is pronounced and gives the gentle definition to the palate. There’s a nice ease to this while still putting you in St-Estèphe. Nothing complex or harsh - such easy drinking. You have the tannins, you have the grip, but it’s gentle, chalky, calm and comfortable. A great value wine. Aged for 12 months, one-third new oak.
