Origin and background
The 2016 vintage is one of Pauillac's great classics, with a hot, dry summer followed by a mild autumn, helping the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. Château Pédesclaux, on gravelly soils, produces a wine that is both structured and elegant, typical of the region.
Tasting
Colour: Deep red with purplish highlights.
Nose: Expressive and complex, combining ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), discreet floral touches and subtle woody nuances.
Palate: Clean, velvety attack. Tannins present but well blended. Well-balanced mid-palate, with intense fruit and controlled acidity. Long, harmonious finish, marked by spicy notes and a light minerality.
