CHATEAU ORMES DE PEZ 2021 St. Estephe (Bordeaux, France)

From the property: "Château Ormes de Pez belongs to the Médoc landscape since the 18th century. Located West of Saint-Estèphe and bordering the hamlet of Pez, the estate owes its name to a magnificent grove of elm trees, which no longer exists today. Château Ormes de Pez is the second property – after Château Lynch-Bages – acquired by the Cazes family in 1939.

With distinctive harmonious spicy character, Château Ormes de Pez is true to its terroir. Wine lovers appreciate its opulence, elegance and well-rounded structure. Its powerful, rich and excellent tannic backbone allows graceful ageing."

That sums it up nicely!  It is also one of the first releases of the 'en primeur' futures offerings.  I know from years of Bordeaux export sales that this wine is available once a year then it's gone.  It has a worldwide reputation for representing great value in the scope of the 'grand wines' of the Bordeaux.
