Tasting Notes
This deep colored, full bodied wine captures all the finesse of his world famous St-Estèphe vineyard
History
Pez means "peace" in Old French and is still commonly used in Saint-Estèphe. This peaceful haven is a Garden of Eden for making great wines.
Regional Information
Saint-Estèphe is one of the largest communal appellations of the Médoc, with a surface area of 1,370 hectares. The vineyard is planted on well-drained gravel outcrops which protect the vines from excessive humidity. The sub soil, made up of clay and limestone, gives the wines their unique personality. Saint-Estèphe wines are tannic, deep and powerful and with age they take on body, fruitiness and delicacy.
Current Vintage

Sint Estephe

Just bought a few bottles for a family dinner : I opened it about 1/2 hour before dinner, and it was a big hit ! Silky and powerful

Surprised.. in a good way !

Was looking for a wine to bring at a dinner with friends. A great surprise : aromas of ripe fruit, a little spicy and not "too short". Really really good

It's possible that the bottle was corked but it was awful - bitter and without depth. I wouldn't even buy it for £4. Thoroughly unpleasant.

Do not buy

This wine was watery and acidy, so much so that we poured it away. St Estephe should be full bodiled without being too heavy with soft tannins and powerful red fruit flavours. Maybe the bottle was corked ? A huge dissapointment.

Quite disappointing

Foolishly expected price to reflect in flavour. But it really didnt. Quite underwhelming and unmemorable....
