Château PÉDESCLAUX
5ème grand cru classé

Since 2009 and the acquisition by Mr. Lorenzetti, we can talk about a new vintage wine classified in Pauillac. Unworthy of his ranking, Pédesclaux had until then disappeared from the Bordeaux scene. The ambition and resources of the new owner are there: complete overhaul of the installations, acquisition of new plots of land ideally located. The first vintages offer the image of a supple and easily accessible Pauillac, at a price that defies all competition in the appellation.

J-M Quarin : 95/100 « Robe noire aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur et vanillé. Charnu en attaque, très aromatique en milieu de bouche, avec une texture onctueuse et un corps dense, le vin évolue sans perdre de son onctuosité, vers une longue finale au grain fin. Remarquable maîtrise de la puissance tannique du millésime sans réduire le corps. Bravo ! »

La Revue du Vin de France : 93-94/100 “More distinctly characterised by Cabernet than previous vintages, it offers fine precision and a more assertive expression. The fruit is crisp, with pronounced graphite notes, a taut palate and a salty finish. It benefits from subtle ageing, a pure expression, a lovely texture and fine tannins. Slightly less dense than the very best.”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 92-94/100 “The 2025 Pédesclaux is powerful, rich and expansive, yet it retains striking finesse to temper all of the natural intensity of this warm, dry year. Pédesclaux certainly has a lot to offer. Lifted floral notes, silky contours and gorgeous blue/purplish fruit are some of the signatures that grace this expressive, generous Pauillac.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 92/100 “More floral than is typical for the region, it charms with its soft tannins and elegant style. Behind this immediate approachability, however, lies a structure designed for excellent ageing potential.”

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 “The 2025 Pédesclaux was picked from September 8 to 19, finishing with the Petit Verdot. It has a sorbet-fresh nose, more red than black fruit, touches of pine emerging, a little natural in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and slightly coarse tannins. Quite grippy, peppery, but I find the finish missing some substance and precision. Hopefully, it will gain a little more complexity during its barrel maturation."
