2022 Chateau De Pez Saint-Estephe (Pre-Arrival)

94 points, Vinous
"The 2022 de Pez is a stellar wine. Plum, blood orange, exotic spice, cedar and new leather fill out the layers. Technical Director Nicolas Glumineau has increased the focus at Pez through stricter selection in the field and greater attention in the winery -- something made easier with the new cellar. Among other things, the team also lengthened elevage to 18 months from the more typical 12-15 months. The 2022 is a major step forward at Pez." - Antonio Galloni, January 2025.

"From a château that consistently makes it into my personal cellar, the 2022 Château De Pez is terrific, with a floral, perfumed, complex style delivering ample cassis and riper black fruits, notes of chocolate, graphite, and licorice, full-bodied richness, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. Tasted on multiple occasions, it's a powerful wine from this team that stays beautifully balanced and elegant."
