The Wine:
The Merlot harvest began on 15 September, and continued through to 20 September. The Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot were picked on 21 and 22 September, respectively. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from 20 to 28 September, date at which the harvest ended. The grapes were perfectly healthy.

Traditional vinification methods lasting on average 20 days were used for all vats, with rapid alcoholic fermentation. Running off began on 6 October. Following malolactic fermentation at the end of December, the wine started its 16 month ageing period in French oak barrels, 45% of which were new.

Château Ormes de Pez 2020 displays deep garnet-purple color with notes of plum preserves and dark berries, plus hints of graphite. Nice chewiness to the texture and lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note.
