Description
Characteristics and tasting tips for Château Pédesclaux 2023
Tasting
With its predominantly Cabernet blend, this vintage combines complexity, balance and freshness with great tannic finesse.
The structure and elegance of a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac
The estate
5th Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, the Château Pédesclaux was founded under the impetus of Urbain-Pierre Pédesclaux, a wine broker, at the beginning of the 19th century. Arriving at the head of the estate in 2009, the Lorenzetti family has raised the cru to the highest level by equipping it with state-of-the-art facilities. 2014 notably marks the construction of a new gravity-fed cellar designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. In 2018, Manon Lorenzetti took over the reins of the estate, injecting a dynamic energy into the property.
The vineyard
The Château Pédesclaux 2023 is a Pauillac wine made from a 53-hectare vineyard spread over 19 different terroirs. The vineyard is managed by Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen, advised by the oenologist Éric Boissenot.
The vintage
A particularly cold winter is offset by a mild winter. Recorded during the last decade of May, the flowering is homogeneous. The warm and humid conditions of June favour a strong pressure of mildew, controlled thanks to the know-how of the teams. Lasting 17 days, the harvest reveals high-quality grapes on each of the 19 plots.
Vinification and ageing
Ageing in oak barrels (including 65% new wood).
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (70%)
Merlot (20%)
Cabernet Franc (10%).
