Chateau Ormes de Pez belongs to the Cazes family who also owns Chateau Lynch Bages, which is located in Pauillac. Chateau Ormes de Pez, like most Bordeaux vineyards, has a long history with numerous owners.
Some of the previous well-known owners who possessed the Medoc estate prior to the Cazes family include Marcel Alibert who also owned Chateau Belgrave in the Haut Medoc appellation. In 1940, Ormes de Pez was purchased by Jean Charles Cazes.
At the time of the purchase, Chateau Ormes de Pez was already quite, well-known to the Cazes family. That is because the sister of Jean Charles Cazes had worked at the estate.
Today, Chateau Ormes de Pez remains in the hands of the Cazes family, who are well known for their more famous Pauillac estate, Chateau Lynch Bages. The Cazes family also owns an estate in the Graves region, Chateau Villa Bel Air, as well as Domaine des Senechaux in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation.
Chateau Ormes de Pez enjoyed a renovation of its wine-making facilities in 1993. Due to the high level of quality here, and its association with the Cazes family which as you know owns Lynch Bages, Ormes de Pez remains one of the most popular, and expensive Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux wines.

【James Suckling 94pts 】
This is very dense and lively with blueberry and blackberry character. Lots of purple fruit at the end. Full body and powerful tannins. Spicy undertones with hints of black tea.
【Wine Enthusiast 94 pts 】
The estate is under the same ownership as Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac. Rich and smoky, this sophisticated, rich wine has some serious tannins as well as black fruits. The wine shows great pedigree, with dark berry fruits and a firm, ageworthy structure.
【Decanter 93 pts】
Beautiful aromatics, this is thoroughly enjoyable with brambles and hawthorn that give focus and lift. 45% new oak. Brilliant value, as ever.
