Owner's words
As always, this 2025 Château de Pez boasts particularly expressive spicy and floral notes, reminiscent of a summer garden bathed in late afternoon sunshine. Fresh, almost honey-like aromas of magnolia and lemon verbena mingle with mesmerizing hints of lavender and rosewood on the nose, following through to a deep, chalky palate, almost mineral, yet also juicy and velvety, underpinned by melt-in-the-mouth tannins and blue fruit flavors, elegantly culminating in a mouthwatering, delicious finish.
