Like the very best wines of its appellation, Château Pédesclaux reflects its complex terroir. Pédesclaux embodies the density of Pauillac tempered by a unique sensuality. Complexity, depth, sensuality, freshness and tension.
Intense velvety red color, with a complex nose of unique depth, with notes of blackberry jam, fleshy Burlat cherry, mint and salted butter caramel blend with rhubarb to express a fresh nose. The body is ample and delightful, smooth and sensual, yet keeps being dense. It offers a palatable and salvating texture, backed with notes of spices, licorice, roasted hazelnuts reminiscent of biscuits just out of the oven. The expression of wild berries mixed with wild rose brings the vivacity necessary for a good balance.
The wine is aging 16 months in barrels. 60% new barrels, 40% of one wine.
