Château de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel AC Saint-Estèphe 3.0L

A Saint-Estèphe in a double magnum: Château de Pez presents itself dry and with the structure for which the northernmost of the great Médoc communes is known. The 3-liter bottle makes it a wine for the large table.

Château de Pez is one of the traditional estates of the Saint-Estèphe appellation and carries the Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel classification. The soils of the commune, characterized by gravel and clay, produce red wines with a powerful body and firm tannins. Cabernet Franc is mentioned as a grape variety in the details for this wine; we do not have details on the cuvée and aging, so we stick to what can be said for sure.

Typical for the region are dark berry fruit such as black currant and blackberry, plus spicy notes of cedar wood and graphite. Cabernet Franc often contributes a fresh, slightly herbal line. On the palate, you can expect a dry red wine with grippy tannins and a clear acidity structure.

Recommendation: Decant the wine about an hour beforehand and serve it at 16 to 18 °C. It goes well with braised beef roast, rack of lamb with rosemary, or strong hard cheese. The large bottle is suitable for family celebrations, invitations, or as a gift with weight.
