Difficult to be able to make an analysis on a complete appellation when you have been able to taste only 4 wines, nevertheless it allows you to get a slight idea.
One of the northernmost appellations of the Médoc, Saint-Estèphe has produced consistent, racy wines with great potential.
Tasting made at Château Lynch-Bages during the tasting of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
- Château Cos Labory 93-94/100
On the nose it is a beautiful bouquet of black fruits. On the palate the wine is balanced, well structured, with a nice aromatic amplitude. The tannins are round and the finish is fresh, elegant and with a good length.
- Château De Pez 94/100
The nose is charming, with notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), spices (licorice) and subtle floral notes. The attack on the palate is lively, complex and with a beautiful aromatic depth. A balanced and very well structured wine, with round tannins. A finish that is both elegant, fresh and of good length.
- Château Ormes de Pez 94-95/100
An intense nose of black fruits and spices. A full, dense wine with superb aromatic depth. The tannins are round and accompanied by a nice acidity, all in perfect harmony. A fresh and persistent finish that gives the wine a great shine.
- Château Phélan Ségur 96-97/100
A deep and captivating nose with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherries, violet and cinnamon. On the palate the wine is perfectly balanced, ample, with great aromatic finesse. Lovely supple tannins supported by a nice tension. A wine full of charm, elegance and panache that ends with great persistence. A very great Phélan Ségur that time will ennoble.
