”One of the best if not the best Pedesclaux I have tasted…” – Vert de Vin Magazine

Perfekte Pedesclaux… Du finder ikke flottere og mere elegant Pauillac til prisen – slet ikke i den store årgang 2020, der scorer nogle af slottets bedste ratings nogensinde med op til 97 points.

Stille som en ninja sniger Pedescalux sig ind på 100 point-naboerne Mouton-Rothschild og Pontet-Canet! 5. Cru Classé-slottet, grundlagt 1810 af M. Pedesclaux, nåede ellers et ultimativt lavpunkt i 1950, hvor det forsømte ikke længere lavede vin! Et kvantespring i ambition og kvalitet er sket efter 2009, hvor den nye ejer, Jacky Lorenzetti, går i makkerskab med Emmanuel Cruse fra d’Issan.

Siden har duoen med økologi, grøn høst, optisk druesortering og lanceringen af en andenvin løftet kvalitet & anmeldelser til nye højder! Nærmest symbolsk for de nye tiders dynamiske Pedesclaux er slottet udbygget med modernistiske glastilbygninger og state-of-the-art vinkælder.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

95-97/100 Revue du Vin de France

95-96/100 James Suckling
"This is very chewy with dusty tannins and blackberry and blueberry character. Some chocolate, too. Full and layered. Such beautiful violet and black-cherry quality at the end with some raspberries, 56% cabernet sauvignon. 34% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. First year with organic farming. A nice step-up in quality."

"Tense and coiled, lovely styling here with bright and vibrant black fruits, a soft hit of creaminess alongside liquorice-laced tannins. Power and brawn, clearly structured and intense, this will age very well just a bit shy and tight right now. Dark chocolate, menthol freshness, plum and rosemary. Excellent tannic grip and I love the sweetness on the palate as well as overall freshness. Something very captivating about this and upscored from a tasting in September."

"The 2020 Château Pédesclaux reminds me of the 2016 with its concentrated, pure, classic Pauillac style. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a great nose of pure blue fruits (currants, cassis) as well as ample lead pencil, chalky minerality, and violet aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, it has the purity and polish to shine even today, yet my money is on it benefiting from 4-6 years of bottle age, and it should evolve gradually over the following 15+ years.."

“Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Excellent nose with ripe fruit, plums, black cherries, blackcurrants and mulberries. On the palate very elegant with great freshness and persistence, silky tannins of great precision, juicy fresh fruit and fine mild spices. A wonderful and refined wine.”

94/100 Vert de Vin
“On the nose, fresh, elegant, dynamic and offers intensity, power and a nice finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of ripe wild cassis, small pulpy black fruits and slightly crushed redcurrant associated with hints of morello cherry, graphite, iodine/earthy minerality, flowers a hint of lilac as well as hints of spices, nutmeg, cinnamon and a very discreet hint of vanilla bean. On the palate fruity and offers minerality, juiciness, roundness, a certain gourmandize as well as an acidulous frame, a little tension, a nice definition as well as a good purity of the fruit, a bright fruit, a certain fullness and contained richness. The palate is discreetly tightening up. The wine expresses notes of bright blackberry, morello cherry and lighter pulpy raspberry combined with hints of raspberry, bright plum, star anise, cardamom as well as fine points of sweet spice, toast, racy minerality and a discreet hint of toasted hazelnut. Nice potential for the future. One of the best if not the best Pedesclaux I have tasted in primeur.”

“A very fine Pesdesclaux”

92-94+/100 Robert Parker
"Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pedesclaux charges out of the gate with energetic notes of crushed blackberries, black raspberries and ripe blackcurrants, followed by suggestions of menthol, aniseed, violets and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate quivers with vibrant, crunchy black and red berries layers, framed by firm, ripe tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and deliciously savory."

92-94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Dark garnet in color, the wine is all about its creme de cassis, flowers, blackberries, cigar wrapper, smoke and green forest leaf aromatics. Vibrant and silky with freshness to the fruits bringing you lift and definition. The wine finishes with a touch of cocoa, tobacco and ripe, sweet, juicy, savory currants that linger. This is clearly an estate on the rise.”

92-94/100 La Figaro

93/100 Falstaff
“Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate rim lightening. Subtle floral nuances of cassis and heart cherries, delicate tobacco, pleasant spiciness, mineral touch. Medium-bodied, red berry nuances, fresh acidity, fine, integrated tannins, mineral-salty finish, good aging potential, lively style.”
