Tasting Notes

Warm and welcoming ruby plum in colour. Opens with undergrowth and smoked earth, a little rustic as it was En Primeur, but easily one of the most charming and good value wines of the vintage, with brambled fruits and fresh acidities that are mouthwatering rather than sharp. 45% new oak.

Score: 92

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2023-2032 10 April 2024

The 2021 Ormes de Pez is quite striking on the nose, brinier than I recall from barrel, with lifted blackberry and boysenberry fruit and a touch of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, again, very saline in the mouth and slightly granular in texture, with black olive tapenade toward the finish. Quite feisty at the moment, give this three or four years in bottle.

Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2027-2055 22 February 2024

The 2021 Ormes de Pez is deep, plush, layered and very expressive. Dark cherry, plum and spice open first, followed by bright floral and savory accents that lend vibrancy. There is a bit of graininess in the tannin, but hopefully élevage will polish some of those contours.

Score: 90 - 92

Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2024-2036 31 May 2022

Medium-bodied with a firm tannin frame and pretty notes of pencil lead, blackberries and some walnuts. Hints of chocolate orange, too. Structured and a little chewy, with perfumed character. Juicy. 49% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.

Score: 92 - 93

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022

The 2021 Ormes de Pez exhibits aromas of cassis, licorice, warm spices and toasty new oak, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated palate built around rich, powdery tannins that will round out with further maturation in barrel. Produced by the Cazes family of Château Lynch-Bages, it shows promise.

Score: 90 - 91

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 29 April 2022

Managed by the team at Lynch-Bages, the 2021 Château Ormes De Pez comes from a 40-hectare vineyard in Saint-Estèphe. Medium to full-bodied, it has ripe tannins, good depth of fruit, and classic notes of darker fruits, loamy earth, tobacco leaf, and chalky minerality.
