De Tour de Pez

Château de Pez is located in the Bordeaux region, west of Saint-Estèphe. We are in the heart of Bordeaux. The property of the Château is entirely situated within the Saint-Estèphe appellation, with vineyards cultivated on the characteristic gravelly soils of the Gironde. A member of the Alliance de Crus Bourgeois, Château de Pez is committed year after year to creating great wines, worthy of comparison with the best Grand Cru Classé.

Founded in 1452 by Jean de Briscos, the estate is one of the oldest in the entire appellation. In its 26 hectares of vineyards, the main varieties cultivated are Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small portion of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

De Tour de Pez

The soils, characterized by gravel, limestone, and clay, host vines cultivated with the utmost respect for the environment, with an average age of around 25 years.

In the cellar, vinification takes place in traditional large tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels, with approximately 40% new barrels and the remaining 60% second or third passage barrels.

Since 1995, Château de Pez has been owned by the family that owns Champagne Maison Louis Roederer, a fact that has increased the quality level of the cellar's wines, consolidating its reputation among the most prestigious in the Médoc.

Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine territories in the world. Not only does this region reach dizzying qualitative peaks, but it has consistently maintained those results, year after year, with top-notch quality.

Centuries of tradition and pursuit of quality have raised the bar and made Bordeaux wines famous: in 80% of cases, they are imposing red wines of remarkable structure and power, but there are also examples of botrytized or noble rot wines that complete the oenological panorama and elevate Bordeaux's reputation.

Bordeaux benefits from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, abundant precipitation but very well absorbed by the soil rich in stones, breccia, and sediments. The soils are highly variable on the surface, not particularly fertile, and covered by a thin layer of breccia, while the deeper layers are rich in minerals.

Regarding the classification, most wines are designated as Cru Bourgeois, but otherwise, there is no homogeneous system for the entire region.

Médoc

The Médoc is the most famous area of Bordeaux and is located to the north along the estuary of the Gironde River. The AOC Médoc is the area to the north of the region, while the southern part is called AOC Haut-Médoc.

In the Médoc, mainly red wines are produced with Cabernet Sauvignon (which provides structure), Merlot (which brings softness and elegance), Cabernet Franc (which adds aromatic complexity to the wine). Petit Verdot and Malbec are less common.

In St-Estèphe, the most interesting Cru Bourgeois of the region are produced. Further south, there is the AOC Pauillac, where three of the five Châteaux classified as Premier Cru classé are located (Château Latour, Château Mouton-Rothschild, and Château Lafitte-Rothschild).

Moving south, there is the AOC St-Julien, where the highest concentration of Crus Classés and many excellent Crus Bourgeois are found. Further down, near the coast of the Gironde, we find the AOC Margaux, with its wines famous for elegance and refinement.
