A rising star, who has already risen from its 5th grand cru classé status!!
Pédesclaux is a 5th Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, one of the most famous municipal appellations in the Haut-Médoc. Just like Pontet Canet, the Chateau is a rising star that has far exceeded its 5th grand cru classé classification since a new regime came in in 2012 with many investments in cellar and vineyards. This wine is made from 72% cabernet sauvignon, 22% merlot and 6% cabernet franc. Château Pédesclaux matures for 15 months in wooden barrels. When you smell this wine, you immediately notice the wood notes and vanilla. You will also taste cocoa, licorice and cherry jam. The ideal wine for a cold winter evening.
On the floral edge, with black currants, black cherries, licorice, cigar box and forest floor in the nose, the palate is round in texture. The fruits are fresh, creamy, sweet, ripe and lively, with a finish that is long, and layered with red, black and blue fruits. Give it a few years in the cellar, and enjoy over the following 2 or more decades. The wine is blended using 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. 14.44 % ABV, 3.86 pH. Harvesting took place September 12 – September 22. Yields were 37 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2025-2050. 93-95 Pts.
