2022 vintage. Pedesclaux becomes better and better, and that is also reflected in the second wine. Fleur de Pedesclaux is usually dominated by Merlot, but this 2022 is 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Therefore, it shows a more typical Pauillac character than before, with black fruit (cassis, blackberries), some smokiness, a powerful structure, and serious length. Abv. 14%. Even better the next day. Should age beautifully.

Expect a lot from this wine. This is the second wine of Cháteau Pédesclaux , Deep , violet, dark- plum oak cherry harmony in the nose . Spiced - perfumed oak ... Odd resemblance to Californian Cabernet . Tastes more on the meritage side of winemaking

Very nice BDX. The one estate on the left bank that heavily tilts Merlot. This wine doesn’t need any time to breath. I decanted but that’s wasn’t really necessary. Well balanced, subtle tannins, nice acidity showing. Long finish.
