Chateau Lalande de Pez Saint-Estephe 20

This under-the-radar Cru Bourgeois from Saint-Estèphe is owned by the Cazes family of Lynch Bages fame — which tells you something about the ambition here. A Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from an exceptional 2020 Bordeaux vintage, it offers ripe dark fruit, firm but polished tannins, and a persistent finish. Excellent value from a top-tier family.
