Château PÉDESCLAUX
5ème grand cru classé
- 2018
- Pauillac
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.
Rated 95/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Le 2018 est une référence, la matière est lumineuse, le fruit, très mûr. Il n'en demeure pas moins éclatant, avec une note mentholée en finale. » (Nov. 2020)

Rated 91/100 by N. MARTIN «This is clean and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh and fleshly, yet there is backbone here with a gentle but insistent grip towards the smooth finish. Maybe it just needs a little more complexity overall, but this should still drink well for the next two decades.» (December 2022)
Rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France : « 2020 une nouvelle étape. Il est en phase avec nos attentes et son énergie est remarquable, poussée par un bel éclat de fruits rouges juteux. Un vin tendu et enrobé à la fois, à la très belle texture de finale. »

The 2020 vintage is rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "2020 a new stage. It's in line with our expectations and its energy is remarkable, driven by a lovely burst of juicy red fruit. A wine that is both taut and coated, with a very fine texture on the finish" (December 2022)
Rated 91/100 by N. Martin "This wine is clean and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, fresh, meaty tannins, but there's backbone here with a gentle but insistent grip to the soft finish. It perhaps needs a little more complexity overall, but should be drinkable over the next couple of decades." (December 2022)

Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well judged acidity, smooth in texture with a little more depth on the finish than I discerned out of barrel. This is turning into a very fine Pauillac. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 is engaging, wonderfully inviting and simply delicious. » (March 2020)
Rated 91/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Ce vin veloute jusqu’en finale où brillent de jolies saveurs pures et des tannins fins. C’est très bon. » (Oct. 2020)

After 15 years of wandering, Lilian-Ladouys was bought in 2008 by Mr Lorenzetti. As at Pédesclaux, extraordinary investments are bearing fruit: Lilian-Ladouys is once again one of the most beautiful crus bourgeois of Saint-Estèphe.
And even of the Médoc, by winning the Coupe des crus bourgeois with its 2012, or by being rated 90/100 by M. Galloni (Vinous) for its 2014.
