About Château Ormes de Pez

Located west of Saint-Estèphe, near the hamlet of Pez, Château Ormes de Pez is a historic Médoc estate whose origins date back to the mid-18th century. Its name refers to the elm trees that once grew on the property. Owned by the Cazes family since 1940, the estate has close ties with Château Lynch-Bages, another renowned family-owned property in the Médoc.

The elegant 18th-century manor house now welcomes guests in a charming bed and breakfast, with five comfortable rooms overlooking the estate or the vineyards. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful, authentic setting, as well as an outdoor swimming pool in season. Breakfast is homemade and prepared with fresh local produce.

The vineyard covers 40 hectares in the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Its gravel, clay and sandy soils are well suited to the classic Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. In both the vineyard and the cellar, the estate combines tradition and modern techniques to produce harmonious, elegant wines. Its flagship wine, Château Ormes de Pez, belongs to the Crus Bourgeois du Médoc, a classification that recognises estates known for the quality and consistency of their wines.

Travellers' review - Château des Ormes de Pez

  • Excellent stay

    Perfectly organized stay. The schedule of visits was very well orchestrated. The room at Château Ormes de Pez was spacious, bright and very pleasant. The building was superb and Gilles was a thoughtful and attentive host. The "plateau repas" in the dining room was just incredible... The highlight of the stay: the assembly workshop at Château Paloumey, instructive, interesting and a very pleasant moment shared with our hosts. I highly recommend this option! To sum up, we were very well received on all our visits. I recommend this fascinating stay.

  • Very faithful to the description: superb

    Gilles, the steward of Château Ormes de Pez, gave us a warm welcome, and we moved into a beautifully appointed room (the one in the photo). The residence offers several areas for dining and relaxing, as well as a lovely west-facing terrace and large garden. The tours of Lynch-Bages and Lilian Ladouys were very comprehensive and well commented by experienced, attentive guides. The restaurants, Lavinal and Maison du douanier, were very appropriate. At each stop we were well looked after, and the time to get from one to the other was very generous, allowing for other stops or visits. Nadège and Gilles at Les Ormes de Pez were very helpful. - My favorite part? The evening meal at Les Ormes de Pez, in the dining room and terrace at Lavinal. We loved the tastings too. - If I had to make one suggestion? Have one glass for each wine tasted, to allow return trips (Lynch-Bages), and have the bread from Lavinal for the meal on the 1st evening. - Would you recommend this stay? Yes, absolutely, and we're regular visitors to the Médoc. Very well organized. Thank you, it's relaxing.

  • Vinotrip ORMES DE PEZ

    Very nice stay ( 2 nights ) in this estate in the middle of the vineyards ( with the beginning of the grape harvest ) Magnificent welcome (warm and always available steward), well-chosen visits to wineries (as part of Vinotrip). So, very good memories of this stay

  • Beautiful stay in Haut Médoc

    Staying at the château "Ormes de Pez", we were made very welcome by the estate steward. The cold evening meal was more than copious and of excellent quality. The room was as large and bright as you'd expect. The next day's tasting at Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac, preceded by a tour of the estate and winery, was masterfully conducted by an exceptional young guide. The ensuing meal at Café Lavinal was of the highest quality. Our second tasting at Château Lilian-Ladouys in St-Estèphe was also of very high quality, with a competent and friendly guide. We were delighted with this stay, which had been offered to us. We highly recommend it.

  • Pleasant stay

    We enjoyed our weekend in the St Estephe region. The welcome at the Orme de Pez B&B was perfect and the rooms very pleasant. The guides in the chateaux really gave us a good time. The only hitch was the scheduling of the last day's visits, which was not at all logical. In the morning, we visited a place near Bordeaux (about 50 min drive) and in the afternoon, we went back the other way, closer to the B&B and then back to Bordeaux, as it was our last day. We were unable to change the order because of the public holidays preceding our visits. A lot of driving time could have been avoided.

  • Bordeaux vineyard break

    A pleasant stay, discovering a magnificent region with a very warm welcome at the properties we visited. For my part, the Rolland de By hotel was closed, so I was offered to stay at the "Ormes de Pez" guest house. A magnificent place, a very pretty house with a lovely welcome, an absolute must. The only downside to this stay was the restaurant reserved for the second evening, more than an hour's drive there and back for a meal that wasn't worth it !!!! There are much nicer restaurants nearby...
