In 2022 this was one of the real values of the vintage, and it has hit it out of the park again in 2023. More austerity to the tannins than it showed last year, but with greater verve and balance, and juicy depths to the blueberry, cassis and raspberry fruits, wrapped in tannins that offer support but don't get in the way of drinkabilty. Owned by the Champagne house Louis Roederer since 1995. 50% new oak for ageing, with time in oak extended again as in 2022. 3.6ph.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 de Pez strolls out with casual scents of blackcurrants and red cherries plus wafts of mint tea, cedar, and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is soft and lively, with just enough fruit and an herbal lift on the finish. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, with pH 3.6.
