Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (Good wine)
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.

Vinous A. Galloni
Wine rated (2018 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
Fleur de Pédesclaux 2016 presents a generous, round bouquet of wild strawberries and blackberries mingled with aromas of heather and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with purity on entry, displaying fine tannins and a slight grip but offering exuberant red fruit on the precise finish. An impressive level for a second wine. Will probably drink well after a few years. 2022-2030
James Suckling
Wine rated (2019 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Aromas of sweet tobacco, blackcurrant and black berries follow through to a full body, soft, juicy tannins and a savory finish. Second wine of Pédesclaux. Drink in 2023.
The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve
Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
Perfect for ordering in a café or bistro, the wine is juicy, fruity and fresh with delicate notes of blackberries, red plums and cranberries. The wine is round, smooth and ready to enjoy straight from the bottle.
