Château Pédesclaux 5ème Grand Cru Classé

Wie alle großen Weine des Pauillac besitzt auch der Château Pédesclaux die Komplexität, die das Terroir widerspiegelt, dem er entspringt. Auf diesem Mosaik von Böden vermittelt der Tonboden Kraft, während der Kies pure Eleganz ausdrückt. Der Pédesclaux kommt mit einem dunklen Rubinrot und violetten Reflexen ins Glas. Dieser Bordeaux verkörpert die Tiefe und die Quintessenz von Pauillac in einer einzigartigen Sinnlichkeit. Ein sauberes und knackiges Bukett mit Aromen von Brombeeren, Heidelbeeren und leichter Zeder sowie einer diskreten floralen Komponente. Am Gaumen kräftig mit sehr guter Struktur und Noten von Graphit, Lavendel, Gewürzen und Pflaume. Der Pedesclaux ist ein üppiger und vor kraft strotzender Pauillac mit einzigartigem Charakter, der in einem extrem langen und sehr beeindruckenden Finale endet. A classy Pauillac, the 2019 Château Pedesclaux is going to be up with the top wines from this address as it has wonderful purity and elegance (which is the vintage), yet backs it up with beautiful mid-palate depth and concentration. Lots of blue fruits, cedary herbs, graphite, violets, and smoky earth notes dominate the bouquet, and it's youthful, tight, and unevolved yet still seamless and incredibly pure. This beautiful wine reminds me of the 2016 with its concentration paired with finesse. Jeb Dunnuck (06/2020) 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! Lisa Perrotti-Brown (06/2020) This vintage marks 10 years since Lorenzetti arrived at Pédesclaux and began his transformation of the property. He should be given full credit for his success, and this is a great vintage to get on-board. Almost opposite to the 2nd wine in terms of its blend, this is a full 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the lowest amount of Merlot in the estate's recent history (the plantings in the vineyard have halved since he arrived). You see the results in a slight austerity on the approach, as this is a serious wine with savoury, clearly defined cassis and bilberry fruit flavours and a clear layering up of tannins that give it Pauillac bite. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Jane Anson (05/2020) 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. James Suckling (02/2022)
