Chateau Tour de Pez, Saint-Estephe cru Bourgeois

“The nose is rather closed compared to other Saint-Estephes: blackberry, raspberry leaf and some oyster shell scents developing with time, yet it remains pinched. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, nicely balanced with good delineation, leading to a pleasing cedar and earth tinged finish with good depth of fruit. This has great potential.” 90-92 points Neal Martin, erobertparker.com (April 2010) 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Thirty hectares of vineyard planted on Medoc gravel (contributing elegance and finesse) and marl clay/limestone (power and structure).
