This is a balanced, classic and sculpted Pauillac, if a little quiet. Shows the juicy elegance of a Cabernet-dominanted wine, but lacking some of the seductive edge that you get with Pedesclaux over the last half decade. You have to wait til the 2014 vintage to really get the benefit of the changes made under Jacky Lorenzetti, who arrived in 2009 and made a series of quality-focused changes such as buying higher-quality plots and introducing Petit Verdot (as of 2015). It was on the rise at this point, but lacked some of the density of today.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

Pauillac, a prestigious appellation within Bordeaux's Left Bank, stands as a vinous crown jewel renowned for its exceptional red wines. Home to some of the world's most illustrious châteaux, including Lafite Rothschild and Latour, Pauillac is synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blends.

The region's famed classification system of 1855, which ranked châteaux based on reputation, further highlights Pauillac's commitment to excellence.

First serious wine ever from Pedesclaux. Full body, with racy tannins, with bright acidity.Tight still. This has more cabernet sauvignon character. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% cabernet franc. Better in 2016.

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2011 Château Pédesclaux offers a vibrant ruby color as well as a pretty, concentrated, elegant style. Cassis, black raspberries, flowers, and a hint of tobacco all emerge from this impressive 2011 that’s a fair click better than the 2010 and goes a long way toward showing the improvements that have been made at this estate.
