Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2018 guide) 90/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated (guide 2018) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Pédesclaux 2015 is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot aged 18 months in barrel, of which 60% in new barrels and 40% in one-year-old barrels. Garnet-colored, it has an earthy nose with notes of dried herbs and garrigue, on a background of red fruit and dark berries with a touch of cedar. The medium-bodied palate is fine and fresh, with juicy red and black fruits and a chewy finish.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 17.5/20 Coup de Cœur (Great 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:
Value for money not to be missed. This 2015, both fleshy and full-bodied, offers explosive fresh fruit and superb tannin grain quality. The estate's new benchmark.
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.
Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2016 guide) 93/100
Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
Tasted on barrel. This is a juicy, fruity wine, supported by black fruit tannins. Blackcurrant aromas are clean and bright, with a firm structure and a lingering finish.
