Château Pédesclaux 2018 Pauillac
Concentration, and behind it the poise of Pauillac.
Pauillac from the sun-blessed 2018 vintage. Ripe blackcurrant and black cherry on the nose, shaded with graphite, cedar, cocoa and spice. The palate is dense and smooth, layering concentrated black fruit against the toast of the barrel. Powerful without ever becoming heavy, held in check by a trim frame and refined tannins. A classed-growth château to enjoy for its present polish and for what the next decade will bring.
Tasting note
2018 was a great vintage in Bordeaux, blessed with abundant sunshine, and in Pauillac, it is characterized by concentrated and highly mature fruit. This vintage boasts a plump and rich style, yet it is well-balanced with acidity and tannins, resulting in a wine that combines modern brilliance with a classic structure.

Pauillac's elegance behind the richness
A rich aroma of ripe cassis and black cherry, with nuances of graphite, cedar, cocoa, and spice.
While possessing the rich fruit and depth characteristic of 2018, its Pauillac-like elegant structure and refined tannins beautifully tighten the whole.
Upon tasting, a rich and smooth texture spreads, with layers of concentrated dark fruit flavors and the savory aroma from oak.
It possesses power without leaning towards heaviness, and the finish offers a long, noble minerality and spicy aftertaste.
A wine that combines modern glamour with the dignity of classic Pauillac.
It offers both the charm of being enjoyable in its youth and the promise of further aging.
