Critic reviews
"Revealing elegant oak alongside dark wild berries and mulberries, with spices emerging with aeration, the 2025 Ormes de Pez is medium- to full-bodied, structured and somewhat firm at this stage. It shows good length and notable freshness, while retaining a dense, well-defined profile."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 Ormes de Pez was picked 9 to 22 September and matured in 20% new oak barrels. This is very refined on the nose with brambly black fruit, crushed stone and light humidor scents, focused and classically styled. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, armed with a fine bead of acidity. Black merges into redder fruit towards the finish with commendable length. This Saint-Estèphe has a newfound fluidity which has taken it up a level. Superb."

"The 2025 Ormes de Pez Blanc is a new wine in the range. Ripe pear, lemon confit, white pepper, slate, mint and white pepper lend notable brilliance throughout. Drink this airy, aperitif-styled white over the next few years. This is a terrific debut."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Ormes de Pez is redolent of dark cherry, herbs, menthol, tobacco, cedar and iron. This midweight Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois has a lot to offer. Open-knit aromatics and relatively soft tannins suggest the 2025 will drink well pretty much right out of the gate."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Lovely fragrance on the nose, so floral and alive, really pronounced aromatics. Brisk acidity makes the first mark, juicy strawberries and raspberries but there’s tension too driving this wine in one straight line. Tight but lovely detail, fine tannins, a firm, salty grip to the finish. A little lean but this will fill out. Liquorice, tobacco, bitter chocolate and flint. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. "

"(Saint-Estèphe; 58% Merlot; 35% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4%Cabernet Franc; 3% Petit Verdot; 13% alcohol; tasted at the UGCB press tasting at the Cité du Vin and then at Lynch-Bages). This is another over-performing Saint-Estèphe in this vintage in which the appellation is very much flattered. I love the wild herbal notes here and the beauty of those plump and plush dark berry fruits - blackcurrant and black cherry, maybe a little wild blueberry. The tannin management is superb too and that gives this the most gracious and the softest of mid-palates. It all feels very natural and this exudes balance and harmony. There's a beguiling gentle sweetness to the fruit too that is charming."
