Château de Pez is one of the oldest estates in Saint-Estèphe, with a history that dates back to the 15th century, and a character that feels distinctly rooted in the gravel and clay of its landscape. Once a priory vineyard and later a discreet Médoc estate, it has long sat slightly under the radar compared to its more famous neighbours, despite sharing the same powerful terroir. Now under the stewardship of the Cazes family, the property has been thoughtfully revitalised, with renewed precision in both vineyard work and winemaking. The wines retain a classic, firm Saint-Estèphe backbone, but show a more polished and expressive profile than in the past. Dark fruit, subtle spice, and a savoury edge define the style, with an underlying tension that gives the wine both seriousness and lift.
