Chateau Les Ormes de Pez
Chateau Les Ormes de Pez is one of St. Estephe’s leading Cru Bourgeois estates. The chateau is owned by Jean-Michel Cazes and situated in the village of Pez. The 32 hectare vineyards lie on gravel rich soils with a sandy, clayey subsoil. The grape varietals grown at Chateau Les Ormes de Pez are 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, these are all hand harvested, then vinified in staineless steel vats and then the wine is matured in barrels. Over the years, selection at harvest has become more rigorous and the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend has been increased.

Bordeaux
Undoubtedly the most well-known fine wine region on the planet, the French wine region of Bordeaux spans 120,000 hectares of vineyard and is demarcated by the Gironde Estuary and its two main tributaries, the Garonne and the Dordogne. The region is divided into the Left Bank, for vineyards located on the left bank of the Garonne River, and the Right Bank, for vineyards on the right bank of the Dordogne. Famous Left Bank appellations such as Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estephe and Margaux are well-known for their quality, but value is also found in Haut-Medoc and Moulis. The Right Bank is well known for Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, while the upcoming regions of Lalande-de-Pomerol and Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon should not be overlooked. Close to the city Sauternes and Barsac make some of the world's best sweet wines, while the appellations of Pessac-Leognan and Graves do a fine line in rich reds and full-bodied whites. Red Bordeaux wines are made from a blend of grapes, and the permitted varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and, less commonly, Malbec and Carmenere. Very broadly speaking, Right Bank wines will have a predominance of Merlot, while Left Bank wines will rely on Cabernet Sauvignon as the primary variety in a blend. White wines, both dry and sweet, are made from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.

Saint-Estephe
Saint-Estephe
One of the more famous Bordeaux wine appellations, Saint-Estephe is part of the broader Medoc appellation on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary. Separated from Pauillac to the south by a small stream, Saint-Estephe is known for its high-quality AOC wines, and also contains some classified growths, including Montrose, Cos d'Estournel and Calon-Segur. The most northerly of the major Medoc appellations, Saint-Estephe has less river based gravel in its soils and relies on heavier, clay-based soil for its grape production. As a result the appellation's grapes perform better in warmer, drier years as the clay's moisture-retaining properties help to sustain the vines. Typically the best wines of Saint-Estephe are deeply coloured, with rich, complex flavours and are very long-lived. At their best they can rival any wine from Bordeaux.

Bordeaux Red Blend
Bordeaux Red Blend
Red Bordeaux wines are most often made from a blend of grapes, officially Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenere. The term is now used across the world to emulate the style of the famous blended wines of Bordeaux, and will be made in the same style in the majority of examples. When very broadly referring to Bordeaux wines, Left Bank wines will have a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, while Right Bank wines use Merlot as the dominant partner in the blend.
