Critic reviews
"Approachable and open, the 2023 Ormes de Pez emerges from the glass with aromas of dark berries, flowers and licorice, discreetly accented by oak. Medium- to full-bodied, it is dense yet gently structured, offering good depth at the core and concluding with a long, mineral finish. Fresh and velvety, it offers immediate pleasure while retaining enough structure to evolve gracefully. This is a blend of 55% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot."

"The 2023 Ormes de Pez was rather perplexing from barrel and now in bottle, well, it seems to vindicate my tepid reaction. The nose somehow seems quite distant, missing a bit of presence and fruit concentration. The palate is better but the tannins feel obdurate, unyielding, with a grippy finish that calls for a bit more "flesh around the bones." Let's see how it shows with further bottle age."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Ormes de Pez is a rich, potent wine. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and chocolate fill out the layers. This virile, somber Saint-Estèphe packs a pretty serious punch. There's a bit of burliness in the tannins, but then again, this is Saint-Estèphe."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Aromas of dark plums, violets, frozen strawberries and dark cherries. Tightly wound and a little grainy, with a medium to full body and a long, tight, slightly chewy finish. 55% merlot, 34% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Give it two more years to soften."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Lots of smoky red and black fruits, leafy tobacco, minty herbs, and some crushed stone-like minerality all define the 2023 Château Ormes De Pez, a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2023 that has plenty of tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's a beautiful, seriously good wine from this château that will need short-term bottle age to show at its best. "
Jeb Dunnuck, May 2024, JebDunnuck.com
"A beautiful wine that has that savoury sappy classically balanced quality that is so beautiful in this vintage. One to look out for, this has appellation signature with chewy blackberry and damson fruits, love it. 51hl/h, 45% new oak, harvest September 14 through into October 4. This is a single point upscore and is absolutely one to buy, a value pick."
