Som en sikker drikkevenlig vin til den private vinkælder, er Château Pedesclaux hvert år blandt de absolut bedste køb man kan gøre i hele 1855-klassifikationen. Alligevel er slottet et af de mest oversete. Det skyldes nok slottets omskiftende tilværelse i de seneste årtier, hvor skiftende ejere har haft forskellige holdninger til, hvordan vinen skulle markedsføres og sælges.
Skal man lave stor og anerkendt vin på Médoc-halvøen, skal vinstokkene være placeret tæt på floden Gironde. Det har altid været en hovedregel på Médoc. Vinstokkene på den 12,5 hektar store ejendom ligger tættere på floden end vinmarkerne hos Mouton-Rothschild! Er vinen så bedre?
Måske ikke, men priserne tåler heller ikke nogen sammenligning. Med Château Pedesclaux får du altid en fantom oplevelse til pengene.

Lots of purity, with freshness and a linear, evenly distributed dark fruit profile. There is elegance and a chewy texture that’s precise and focused, with good definition.
Dark aromas on the nose, fragrant purple flowers, tobacco, cedar, liquorice and black cherries – smells quite medicinal. Round and so well textured – smooth and friendly, this has such a gorgeous dollop of red fruit on the mid palate, a tiny bit chalky which is so enjoyable with such fine, delicate tannins but it’s the energy that I really like too. So well constructed and balanced. Less ‘strong’ than in some years, this is friendly and compelling. A fabulous wine. Concentration at the end, with the liquorice, tobacco and wet stones. Really quite impressive. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.68pH. 65 IPT. Ageing 50% new oak. Harvest 8-20 September.
Blackberries, flowers, cherries, tobacco, cedar and spice, along with a shot create the nose. The vibrant, round, juicy, lifted palate displays its sweet, fresh currants along with spices, sweet blackberries, and touches of sea-salt, which is perfect for the wine's creamy-tannins, and polished fruits. Give it a few years in the cellar, and enjoy it over the following 2 or more decades. The wine is blended using 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV. Drink from 2030-2060.
