"The 2014 Pédesclaux has a firm bouquet of redcurrant and crushed strawberry, with aromas of cedar and cigar box revealing themselves with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, lots of black fruit intermingled with cedar and black pepper [...]. This is a very fine vintage from a rejuvenated château that is making its way in the same way as Pontet-Canet did in the 90's." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 17/20 (Reference wine)
Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Excellent expression of the vintage, full body, expressive fruit, well-coated tannin, long, confirms its class.
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.

Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2018 guide) 16.5/20 (Very good wine)
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 wine:
The 2014 is very distinguished, intense and full in the mouth, carried by a beautiful ripe and juicy fruit.
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.
