Chateau Pedesclaux Paulliac 5. Cru Classe 2016 i trækasse

”95 points. Full-bodied and very tight with beautiful tannins and a long, flavorful finish.”  – James Suckling
”94 points. What stands out in the 2016 is the combination of freshness, elegance, silky tannins, and almost juicy finish.” – Decanter
“94 points. With purity and finesse as well as richness and depth, it’s already reasonably approachable today, but it’s going to evolve for three decades or more.” – Jeb Dunnuck

Pedesclaux Cru Classé i den eftertragtede og allerede legendariske årgang 2016… Du finder ikke flottere og mere elegant Pauillac til prisen. Topårgangen udnyttes til for første gang at fremstille vinen på fire druesorter. Mesterlig elegance, silkefine tanniner og gigantiske modningspotentiale!

Stille som en ninja sniger Pedescalux sig ind på 100 point-naboerne Mouton-Rothschild og Pontet-Canet! 5. Cru Classé-slottet, grundlagt 1810 af M. Pedesclaux, nåede ellers et ultimativt lavpunkt i 1950, hvor det forsømte ikke længere lavede vin! Et kvantespring i ambition og kvalitet er sket efter 2009, hvor den nye ejer, Jacky Lorenzetti, går i makkerskab med Emmanuel Cruse fra d’Issan.

Siden har duoen med økologi, grøn høst, optisk druesortering og lanceringen af en andenvin løftet kvalitet & anmeldelser til nye højder! Nærmest symbolsk for de nye tiders dynamiske Pedesclaux er slottet udbygget med modernistiske glastilbygninger og state-of-the-art vinkælder.

Ved køb af 12 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

Anmeldelser af Château Pedesclaux Pauillac 5. Cru Classé 2020

95/100 James Suckling
"So aromatic with crushed currants, raspberries and blackberries with hints of graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied and very tight with beautiful tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The tannins really build at the end of the palate. Try from 2024."

94/100 Decanter
"This is the first vintage in the estate’s history to include four grape varieties – 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc -- in the blend. All the investments in the new cellar and restructuring of the vineyard, which includes organic methods and some biodynamic experiments, are now really paying off in quality. Winemaker Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen is a huge fan of Petit Verdot, which lends freshness, floral aromas, and an elegant spiciness to the mix. Pedesclaux seems to have arrived at its unique personality in this great vintage, tasted in a vertical line up of 2014 to 2018. The amount of Cabernet Sauvignon is increasing, giving the wines more precise structure. What stands out in the 2016 is the combination of freshness, elegance, silky tannins, and almost juicy finish."

94/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“An estate that’s unquestionably on the upswing, the 2016 Château Pédesclaux is made from 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in 60% new oak. In the past, the wines from this estate have been slightly chunky, but that started to change around 2014, and I think this 2016 is the best yet. Beautiful blue fruits, violets, spicy oak, and a touch of minerality all emerge from this medium-bodied Pauillac, which has fine, polished tannins, a seamless texture, and a great finish. With purity and finesse as well as richness and depth, it’s already reasonably approachable today, but it’s going to evolve for three decades or more.”

93/100 Robert Parker
“The 2016 Pedesclaux is composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It aged for 18 months in 60% new and 40% one-year-old French oak. It has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed red and black currants and blackberries with cigar box, new leather, pencil lead and crushed rocks. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, fresh and lively with loads of mineral nuances and a lovely earthy finish.”

93/100 Vinous
"The 2016 Pédesclaux has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, leather, chocolate, rose petal and dried herbs are all generous in this plump, juicy Pauillac. Medium in body, expressive and racy, Pédesclaux is a super appealing, modern Pauillac with soft curves and tons of immediacy."

“Deep dark ruby ​​garnet, opaque core, subtle lightening of the edges, floral bouquet, fresh cassis, a hint of blackberry confit, fresh tangerine zest. Medium-bodied, red berries, fine fruit sweetness, integrated tannins, mineral and persistent, freshly structured food accompaniment”
