94 James Suckling
Lots of plum and cherry aromas with terracotta and crushed-stone undertones. Full to medium body. Tight and juicy on the palate. Round, firm tannins, yet really spicy and flavorful. Cloves and nutmeg. Hints of new oak. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Need three or four years to come together. Better after 2022.
91 Robert Parker
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Pedesclaux is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. The nose reveals a stunning perfume of wilted roses, lilacs and Ceylon tea, over a core of kirsch, raspberry pie and warm blackberries plus touches of garrigue and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, fresh and fragrant in the mouth, it has soft, easy-going tannins and a compelling iron ore note on the finish.<br/>

Features a red currant and cherry core lined with chalky tannins. Shows floral lift and fresh acidity through the finish. Not big, but pure.—J.M.

Château Pédesclaux
Perhaps one of Pauillac’s least well-known estates, Château Pédesclaux is a gifted classified Médoc growth. Just forty-five years after the estate was founded by wine trader Pierre-Urbain Pédesclaux, the château was ranked as a 5ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification. While the estate’s title ultimately became Pierre-Urbain’s namesake, the property, however, went through several owners before landing in the hands of Françoise and Jacky Lorenzetti in 2009. By 2013, Emmanuel Cruse joined the Pédesclaux team as managing director - further accentuating the estate’s new modern approach. The renovation of the château and winemaking facilities in 2015, along with the impeccable vineyard management, the estate has seen a true boom in quality. The Pauillac château produces a wine as complex as its terroir. The Grand Vin Château Pédesclaux is a dense Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc blend created in a charming style with an even more attractive edge.
