{"product_id":"2016-chateau-de-pez-1","title":"2016 Château de Pez","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 Château de Pez is a superb Saint-Estèphe from one of the Médoc’s oldest estates, with a history dating back to the 15th century. Owned by Champagne Louis Roederer, the estate has undergone significant investment in recent decades, elevating quality while retaining its classic Saint-Estèphe character. The 2016 vintage, a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, benefited from an exceptional growing season, producing wines of richness, concentration and remarkable balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose reveals cassis, blackberry and dark plum alongside notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf and baking spice. Full-bodied and structured, the palate combines ripe dark fruit with polished tannins and fresh acidity, delivering both power and refinement. Layers of liquorice, cocoa and crushed stone emerge through a long, savoury finish. The 2016 vintage has been widely praised for its depth and generosity, while maintaining the freshness and precision that define great Saint-Estèphe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA beautifully crafted Bordeaux that offers the structure of Saint-Estèphe with a polished modern edge. Rich, complex and highly age-worthy, it pairs wonderfully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck, venison and hard cheeses. Enjoy with a decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2040–2045 as it develops greater complexity and classic Médoc maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 160.642px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.5521px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22.5521px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.5521px; text-align: left; width: 297.465px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1667px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 39.1667px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1667px; width: 297.465px;\"\u003eChâteau de Pez\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1667px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 39.1667px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 39.1667px; width: 297.465px;\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5903px; width: 297.465px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5833px; width: 297.465px;\"\u003e2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: center; width: 246.806px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: left; width: 297.465px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Pez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51441968611643,"sku":"PZ3516","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2016ChateaudePez.jpg?v=1783689623","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2016-chateau-de-pez-1","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
