Wines from Saint-Estèphe
Château de Pez 2006 Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Owned by the Rouzaud family of Roederer Champagne, this has become a model Saint-Estèphe. It has all the initial tannins that dominate wines from this appellation. But it supports these tannins with elegant, ripely juicy black fruit and an addition of licorice sweetness. Age for 3-4 years.

90-92 Barrel sample. There are certainly elements of new wood here, while the fruit gives sweetness and ripeness. The tannins hover between high toast and ripe Cabernet. To finish, there is ripe, black and juicy fruit.

Chocolate and solid fruit flavors in this exemplary wine. It is rich, the tannins balancing with blackberry fruit flavors. The density of the texture suggests good medium-term aging.

Château Cos d'Estournel 2008 Pagodes de Cos Red (Saint-Estèphe)
Hard, dark tannins, a good amount of wood and acidity—if that doesn’t sound initially promising, the ripe black berry juice and jam flavors come pushing through, creating a powerful, chunky wine.

Château Haut-Beauséjour 1996 Cru Bourgeois Red (Saint-Estèphe)
