Château Pédesclaux
Château Pédesclaux was created at the beginning of the 19th century, in 1810, by Monsieur Urbain Pierre Pédesclaux, a well-known and esteemed Bordeaux wine broker. In 1855, Château Pédesclaux was classified as the Fifth Grand Cru Classé Pauillac. The Count of Gastebois bought the property in 1891. It was completely rebuilt to improve the quality of the wines. Purchased by Monsieur Lorenzetti, also owner of Château Lilian-Ladouys, he launched the reorganization of the Château Pédesclaux vineyard with the acquisition of new plots. He also put in place a vast replanting program, with a total change in the team in charge of production. Everything was done with one aim in mind: to improve the quality of the wine and restore it to its former glory.

At the time of the 1855 classification, Château Pédesclaux represented a 25-hectare vineyard located in the commune of Pauillac. It was divided between two groups of plots and two types of soil. On the one hand, the gravelly clay-limestone soil in the northern part of the appellation, between Château Mouton-Rothschild and Château Pontet-Canet, favored vines with power and bouquet. On the other hand, the siliceous gravels to the west of Pauillac near Château Lynch-Bages, soils conducive to finesse and minerality. As for the Château Pédesclaux vineyard, it illustrates a Merlot tendency for a Médoc Cru Classé. The Merlot grape represents 45% of the vineyard, with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

"The alliance of Pauillac terroir and Merlot charm!"

"Fleur de Pédesclaux 2019, aged in 30% new oak, has increased its share of Cabernet Sauvignon since 2009, when it was purely Merlot (and also in organic conversion since 2013). Aromas of raspberry, blackberry, cedar and light tobacco unfold in the glass. The palate is still quite fleshy and round, and slightly spicy, retaining that hint of Chinese spice towards the tender finish. A fine second wine. (Vinous 2021)

"An excellent wine with lots of potential for great drinking and long cellaring!"

"Its magnificent purplish-red color is an invitation to travel. The seductive nose confirms the bewitching scents of candied cherry and cedar. Full attack, then a sapid palate with very fine tannins, citrus fruit, stone and black zan flavors, very racy, concluding with a very long, saline finish. Refined but well-marked character. Long cellaring assured. (Terre de Vins 2020) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
