Needs three to five years to soften. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. First year with organic farming. Try after 2027.
 

Den Chateau Pedesclaux 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The 2020 Château Pédesclaux reminds me of the 2016 with its concentrated, pure, classic Pauillac style. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a great nose of pure blue fruits (currants, cassis) as well as ample lead pencil, chalky minerality, and violet aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, it has the purity and polish to shine even today, yet my money is on it benefiting from 4-6 years of bottle age, and it should evolve gradually over the following 15+ years.

Neal Martin im Januar 2019:

The 2016 Pédesclaux is the first vintage to include all four grape varieties planted in the vineyard. according to Emmanuel Cruse. It has a very focused. concentrated bouquet of blackberry. graphite. hints of tobacco and a slight granitic scent - très Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin. impressive depth. gentle grip and a killer line of acidity. I adore the harmony and precision of this Pédesclaux. which is probably the best to date. Highly recommended. 13.3% alcohol.
 

Antonio Galloni im Januar 2019:

The 2016 Pédesclaux has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry. plum. mocha. leather. chocolate. rose petal and dried herbs are all generous in this plump. juicy Pauillac. Medium in body. expressive and racy. Pédesclaux is a super appealing. modern Pauillac with soft curves and tons of immediacy.
 

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

So aromatic with crushed currants. raspberries and blackberries with hints of graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied and very tight with beautiful tannins and a long. flavorful finish. The tannins really build at the end of the palate. Try from 2024.

Very long and straight with a beautiful. fine line of ripe and compressed tannins. Medium-to full-bodied and tight and fresh on the finish. Beautiful cabernet sauvignon is driving this one.

On the lighter side. but fresh and focused. featuring cassis and bitter cherry notes. lined with subtle iron and floral hints. The finish is tightly focused.

Pedesclaux was purchased in late 2009 by real estate mogul. Jacky Lorenzetti. In addition to the purchase of Pedesclaux and its 26 hectares of vineyards. Lorenzetti was also able to acquire an additional 12 hectares of vineyards planted at 10.000 vines per hectare that sit atop the Milon plateau (their rows are interspersed with those of Mouton and Lafite). The total vineyard acreage in 2018 was 49.7 hectares with an average vine age of 35 years. The soils are typically gravelly atop a clay subsoil. It will spend an estimated 16 months on the lees in barrels. 60% new and 40% second year. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon. 27% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. and it has 13.96% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Pedesclaux comes charging out of the gate with rambunctious baked plums. warm cassis and Morello cherries scents plus hints of spice cake. menthol and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits and spicy accents. with a soft. fine-grained frame. finishing long.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pedesclaux 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pedesclaux is a fruity. supple Pauillac. that will drink well upon release. Although not especially complex. the 2018 offers lovely immediacy and plenty of near to medium-term appeal. Succulent dark cherry. plum. chocolate and spice are nicely pushed forward in this decidedly overt Pauillac. The 2018 is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon. 27% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Pedesclaux 2019 Pauillac:

17 Jan, 2022 – This is really floral and beautiful with lavender, lilac and blackcurrant aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. It’s very racy and refined with structure. Linear. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Best after 2024.

A gorgeous wine, the 2019 Château Pédesclaux shines for its pure, elegant, yet concentrated style, and it's certainly one of the finest vintages from this address. Cassis, black cherries, lead pencil, and violet notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. The purity and finesse are truly something here, and while it already offers pleasure, it deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 20+ years.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Pedesclaux 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Pédesclaux is quirky and full of character. It offers a beguiling mix of super-ripe dark fruit and savory Cabernet coupled with accents that offer a striking counterpoint. Black cherry, chocolate, new leather, spice, tobacco, incense and scorched earth lead into the substantial finish. There's more raciness than finesse in this Pauillac, but it all works well.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Pedesclaux 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Pédesclaux, which is matured in 60% new oak, has a lively, classically styled bouquet of blackberry, briary, cedar and pressed violet scents, a touch of orange pith emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit, very polished and seductive. The expressive floral component lends the Margaux-like personality I remarked upon from barrel. Quite persistent in the mouth, yet accessible, this will be difficult to resist (but try). [One sample had a more briny finish than others.
