Description
The Generosity and Elegance of a Great Pauillac with Character
Founded in 1810 on the prestigious terroir of Pauillac, Château Pédesclaux is one of the most beautiful properties of the Médoc on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region.
Complex, deep, powerful and voluptuous, the wines of Château Pédesclaux embody the excellence of Pauillac through a style that preserves the freshness of the fruit.
Blessed with an exceptional terroir, the Château Pédesclaux vineyard is located in the immediate vicinity of the Gironde estuary, which protected the vines from the damage caused by the episodes of frost at the end of April 2017. The climatological conditions that followed made it possible for the fruit to enjoy optimal development through the vegetative cycle and the harvest came early. The phenolic ripeness, the freshness of the fruit, the perfect sugar-acidity balance, the long and finely-grained tannins, the expression of each grape variety... this is a promising vintage indeed.
Resulting from a rigorous selection of only the best batches and from the strong will of the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzetti, the Château Pédesclaux 2017 presents a blend with a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), supplemented by Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (7%) and Petit Verdot (3%).
With its beautiful bouquet, on which Cabernet Sauvignon has clearly left its mark, the Château Pédesclaux 2017 reveals powerful notes of cassis and black berries, which give way to spicy scents of cinnamon, aniseed and liquorice, enhanced by fresh pepper notes. A monument of structure, the palate reveals elegant and voluptuous tannins whose fine grain coats the palate nicely, without the power of the fruit weakening in the mouth but stretching into a superb mineral finish. Complete, intense, endowed with a superb depth and remarkably delicate fruit, all the elements are in place to make Château Pédesclaux 2017 a great Pauillac ready to evolve in the bottle over the next few decades.
