The 2014 Pedesclaux consists of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot. It was aged for 18 months in 60% new and 40% one-year-old French oak. It has a deep garnet-red color and a nose of crushed red and black currants and blackberries with cigar box, new leather, pencil lead, and crushed stones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, and vibrant with many mineral nuances and a beautiful earthy finish.
The soils of Château Pédesclaux consist of gravel on clay subsoils, half of which are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% with Merlot, and the rest with Cabernet Franc and sometimes a small percentage with Petit Verdot.
Since 2010, the goal of returning to a high standard and a quality worthy of the early years has been more than achieved. Château Pédesclaux is now considered a balanced, generous, and complex Pauillac. Its color is a beautiful ruby red, its nose and mouth reveal aromas of blackberries, mint, and notes of licorice, to which notes of toasted hazelnuts and rhubarb are added. It is considered a gourmet wine with firm and dense tannins. Today, it is one of the Grands Crus with high potential and a very interesting price-performance ratio.
