Founded in the 15th century, Pez is the oldest domaine in Saint-Estèphe. The Pontac family, then-owners of Château Haut-Brion, gave Pez its vineyards. The property remained in the hands of descendants until the French Revolution. Sold as a property of the state, the domaine belonged to a succession of families until 1995, when it was purchased by Champagne Louis Roedererer which still own the estate to this day.

Château de Pez is one of the oldest properties in Bordeaux’s Left Bank and consists of 104 continuous acres with 94 acres planted to prime grape varieties, mainly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks to the quality of its production, Château de Pez is counted among the most highly reputed crus of the Médoc and was reclassified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2003.

Grown over gravel, clay and limestone the blend is comprised of 53% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5% Petit Verdot, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and spends time elevaged in approx 40% new oak. Full of cherry, liquorice and blackcurrent and a fine mineral edge it walks the line niceley of density and power but with fluidity and grace. With the expertise of Pichon Comtesse in the family the wines of this estate have gone from strength to strength and these wines provide exceptional value for that reason.
