The 2016 Pedesclaux is composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. 45% Merlot. 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It aged for 18 months in 60% new and 40% one-year-old French oak. It has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed red and black currants and blackberries with cigar box. new leather. pencil lead and crushed rocks. The palate is medium-bodied. elegant. fresh and lively with loads of mineral nuances and a lovely earthy finish. Around 15.000 cases produced.

The 2016 Pédesclaux is the first vintage to include all four grape varieties planted in the vineyard. according to Emmanuel Cruse. It has a very focused. concentrated bouquet of blackberry. graphite. hints of tobacco and a slight granitic scent -
très Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin. impressive depth. gentle grip and a killer line of acidity. I adore the harmony and precision of this Pédesclaux. which is probably the best to date. Highly recommended. 13.3% alcohol.
Antonio Galloni im Januar 2019:
The 2016 Pédesclaux has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry. plum. mocha. leather. chocolate. rose petal and dried herbs are all generous in this plump. juicy Pauillac. Medium in body. expressive and racy. Pédesclaux is a super appealing. modern Pauillac with soft curves and tons of immediacy.
Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
So aromatic with crushed currants. raspberries and blackberries with hints of graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied and very tight with beautiful tannins and a long. flavorful finish. The tannins really build at the end of the palate. Try from 2024.
INFO: Unserer Meinung nach handelt es sich beim Chateau Pedesclaux um einen der heissesten Aufsteiger der letzten Jahre. Die Weinberge im Pauillac von Pedesclaux liegen zwischen Lynch Bages. Chateau Lafite Rothschild und Clerc Milon. Also wirklich keine schlechten Nachbarn.
