Chateau De Pez Cabernet Merlot 2018 14% 750ml
Despite all of the surprises, fears and doubts, 2015 turned out to be a remarkable vintage. The growing cycle took place in perfect conditions up until some extremely dry weather in July, leading to worries over low yields. The rain and associated fungal diseases that we usually fear turned out to work for us from mid-July to mid-September, enabling the vine to reach optimum ripeness levels. The wines are distinctive and exceptionally precise yet also dense and restrained. They remind us of the extremely dense yet ethereal Bordeaux's of the 1980's.
In the 1980’s and 1990’s vineyard expansion in Champagne was virtually impossible so Jean-Claude Rouzaud, at the time Proprietor and President of the Louis Roederer Family Group, looked to expand outside the region with the establishment of Roederer Estate in California (1982), the purchase of Ramos Pinto in the Douro (1990), Chateau de Pez Cru Bourgeois St Estephe (1994) and Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 2nd Growth, Pauillac (2006) in Bordeaux, and Domaines Ott (2005) in Provence.
