"The intensity of the dark ruby color is pleasantly echoed in a bouquet dominated by fruit (wild strawberries), spices and licorice. The palate is round and smooth, then intensifies around solid tannins, leading to an elegant finish marked by a slight sweetness that brings out the fruitiness." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015) Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Clean, straight, fairly well-constructed, but the tannin lacks complexity and tends to be tight or even dry.
About the domain :
A new, ultra-modern vat room, luxurious and efficient, demonstrates the ambitions of new owner Jacky Lorenzetti. He clearly wants to produce one of the finest wines in his appellation, and has acquired very high-quality terroirs, close to Mouton-Rothschild, which should help him in his ambition. The technically brilliant wines are improving with each new vintage.

About the wine:
The intensity of the dark ruby color is pleasantly echoed in a bouquet dominated by fruit (wild strawberry), spices and licorice. The palate is round and smooth, then intensifies around solid tannins, culminating in an elegant finish marked by a slight sweetness that brings out the fruitiness.
About the domain :
Françoise and Jacky Lorenzetti sold their real estate agency network (Foncia) and bought this château in 2009 from the Jugla family. They undertook major work in the vineyard and cellar (construction of a new winery by Jean-Michel Wilmotte) to restore the reputation of this cru, founded in 1810, whose vineyards now cover some 50 ha following the acquisition of new plots.

Domaine rated (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
It's undoubtedly one of the most spectacular developments in Bordeaux in recent years. Pédesclaux, acquired by Jacky Lorenzetti in 2009, has undergone a spectacular, state-of-the-art facelift, from vineyard to cellar. Under the leadership of Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen, the wines have progressed steadily, vintage after vintage, little by little. They are now more than worthy of their classification and, above all, have established themselves as remarkable value for money.
