Chateau Pedesclaux, Pauillac 5eme cru classe

In front of Mouton-Rothschild and Pontet-Canet, the history of fifth growth Pedesclaux in the late 20th century may have been unremarkable – but since its purchase by the Lorenzetti family in 2009, the property has undergone a startling renaissance in quality and reputation. “Lovely nose of ripe black fruits; harmonious and beguiling. Very fine on the palate with lots of ripeness allied to fine-grained tannins and balancing acidity. Rich, beautifully structured, classic and profound.” Alun Griffiths MW, decanter.com (June 2015) Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc.
