"his medocaine property was created in 1810 under the leadership of pierre-urbain pédesclaux, then a wine broker. the years passed and some changes took place: vines were bought from m. lacoste (owner of the grand puy castle in 1921), a winery was built in 1841 and the vineyard now stretched over 7 hectares. changing owners (the son edmond now manages it with a master’s hand), his success is not long in coming: here he is consecrated the fifth grand cru of the classification of 1855. unfortunately, it is clear that the castle crosses the entire 20th century in complete anonymity. it is necessary to wait for the purchase of the vintage in 2009 by jacky lorenzetti (founder of foncia and co-owner 50% of the castle of issan with emmanuel cruse) for château pédesclaux to reconnect with its prestigious history. thanks to him, the vineyard reaches 48 hectares and, after a redesign of all the facilities and the construction of a cellar designed by the architect jean-michel wilmotte, the castle produces fine and elegant wines. here is a pauillac to follow closely, very closely. the pedésclaux castle has become an essential reference for pauillac wines and is the result of a meticulous blend of cabernet sauvignon (55%), merlot (40%) and cabernet franc (5%). the 42ha of vines grow on an exceptional terroir of garonne graves even resting on a deep limestone base. after being harvested by hand the grapes are sorted at the winery and then buggered by gravity. the vinification begins with a cold maceration intended to transmit additional aromas and intensity to the wine. a 16-month ageing ensues in barrels of which 60% are new. pedésclaux develops a nose of black fruits and spices. the mouth is full, and the tannins are polished. it presents a generous and harmonious ensemble that will only get better over the years."
