Pedesclaux is one of the great Pauillac estates and they are affordable. Back in the 1980's Robert Parker said 'life is too short to ever drink a Pedesclaux'. Radical and positive changes have taken place with the estate since it was taken over by the Racing 92 owner, Francoise Lorenzetti in 2009.
"The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, and it has 13.96% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Pedesclaux comes charging out of the gate with rambunctious baked plums, warm cassis and Morello cherries scents plus hints of spice cake, menthol and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits and spicy accents, with a soft, fine-grained frame, finishing long."
