Chateau de Pez - Saint-Estephe 2015
Created in the 15th century, Chteau de Pez is a family-owned winery with a rich heritage that spans centuries. This Saint-Estèphe 2015 vintage is a testament to the winery's commitment to traditional winemaking processes, sustainability, and quality.
The Chteau de Pez estate covers over 26 hectares, and the grapes are left to ferment in traditional oak vats before being blended and aged in oak barrels. This meticulous process results in a wine that is complex, balanced, and full of character.
The 2015 vintage is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. On the nose, it offers aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long finish. This wine is best enjoyed with red meat, game, or strong cheeses.
At Chteau de Pez, sustainability is a top priority. The winery uses organic and biodynamic farming practices to ensure that the grapes are of the highest quality. The winery also uses solar panels to generate electricity and recycles water to reduce its environmental impact.
