Origin and background
The 2016 vintage in Pauillac benefited from a favourable climate, with a hot, dry summer followed by a mild autumn, allowing optimum ripening. Château Pédesclaux, situated on gravelly soils typical of Pauillac, produces a classic, well-balanced wine combining power, finesse and elegance.
Tasting
Colour: Deep, intense red with purplish highlights.
Nose: Complex and fresh. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (cherry), sweet spices (pepper, liquorice), floral notes (violet) and woody nuances (cedar, vanilla).
Palate: Clean, supple attack. Tannins are present but velvety, offering a fine structure. Well-balanced mid-palate, with expressive fruit and refreshing acidity. Long, harmonious finish, with spicy and slightly mineral notes.
