Chateau Pedesclaux 2019

Chateau Pedesclaux is a Pauillac red Bordeaux blend from vineyards overlooking the Gironde estuary. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot form the core of the wine, complemented by Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, delivering dark fruit, structured tannins, freshness, and depth with a refined Pauillac character.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted lamb, grilled ribeye, braised beef, wild mushrooms, and aged cheeses.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Pedesclaux has a beguiling perfume of violets, warm cassis, preserved plums and licorice with suggestions of rose hip tea, dark chocolate, kirsch and cinnamon toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with vibrant black and red fruits, supported by ripe, finely grained tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Gorgeous wine-bravo!

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

A gorgeous wine, the 2019 Chateau Pedesclaux shines for its pure, elegant, yet concentrated style, and it's certainly one of the finest vintages from this address. Cassis, black cherries, lead pencil, and violet notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. The purity and finesse are truly something here, and while it already offers pleasure, it deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 20+ years.

94 Points - James Suckling

This is really floral and beautiful with lavender, lilac and blackcurrant aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. It's very racy and refined with structure. Linear. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Best after 2024.
