2017 Chateau Les Ormes de Pez, Cru Grand Bourgeois, St. Estephe (6 x Bottle)
The 2017 Ormes de Pez comes across as a bit light in both body and structure. Spice, leather, dark red stone fruit and new French oak are nicely pushed forward. Easygoing and open-knit, the 2017 is likely to offer its best drinking sooner rather than later. Jean-Michel Cazes told me yields were surprisingly generous in 2017, along the lines of 2009. Merlot plays an especially prominent role in a blend composed of 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
A barrel sample blended of 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Ormes de Pez has a deep garnet-purple color and gives up notes of freshly crushed redcurrants, red and black plums and mulberries with touches of rose hip tea and tilled soil. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled, with approachable, chewy tannins, it delivers nice harmony with plenty of character.

The 2017 Ormes de Pez comes across as light and easygoing, with only modest depth and nuance. There just isn't much to the 2017, in terms of either body and complexity. Drink it up.

The 2017 Les Ormes de Pez has a tightly would bouquet with tertiary, slightly ferrous red berry fruit, perhaps needing a little more cohesion that should evolve with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with a balsamic-tinged entry, moderate depth, good density but just missing a little flair and nuance on what feels like a conservative finish.
