Full-bodied, fat and with a characteristic vanilla woody taste, the dry white wine of Lynch-Bages plays the charm and fabric card. Less than 2000 cases produced each year, far insufficient for global success.
It is difficult to find a wine as world-famous as Lynch-Bages. It is true that no one else has been as consistent as he has been over the past thirty years, in his rich and opulent style. It is even said that Lynch-Bages is the Château that gave the Americans the taste of Bordeaux. Congratulations to Mr. Jean-Michel Cazes who retired in 2007 (but who is still there)!

On the terroir of Pez, known to be the best in St-Estèphe (excluding classified growths), the Cazes family uses the same recipes here as those that made Lynch-Bages so successful: generous fruit and opulent texture. Ormes de Pez is an'almost' Lynch-Bages but at a quarter of the price!

Rated 88/100 by Neal Martin after bottling « The palate is medium-bodied with a balsamic-tinged entry, moderate depth, good density but just missing a little flair and nuance on what feels like a conservative finish. » (February 2020)

This old estate (14th century) of Châteauneuf-du-Pape was bought in 2006 by Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages, Haut-Batailley, Ormes de Pez...). With 25 ha 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre, in two excellent sectors (La Nerthe and Rayas), and by voluntarily limiting yields to 30hl/ha, Mr. Cazes strives to produce only one cuvée in both red and white. The white is dynamic without excess generosity, with a beautiful vivacity provided by the clairette (30%). The red is a classic Châteauneuf with a focus on finesse and aromatic intensity.

Vineyard acquired in 2002 by Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages, Haut-Batailley, Ormes de Pez...). After having shown at the beginning a very southern character with exuberant and full-bodied wines, L'Ostal Cazes has since happily moved to a more nuanced style where, without losing anything in density, elegance competes with length.
White Alba, 85% viognier, very fresh (aniseed) and intense, expressive without softness.

A Bordeaux vision and assuaged of the generosity even the Mediterranean exuberance, greeted by Mr. Bettane " A very beautiful address, serious and regular, of which one does not tire".
Estibals, 50% Syrah, is a gourmet wine, balanced, long, everything but a "little wine".
Favourite of the Hachette guide 2021.
