2025 Chateau Pedesclaux Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Pedésclaux reveals aromas of dark wild berries, cassis, blackberry and floral notes, combining freshness with approachability. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s structured yet enveloping, built around a juicy core of fruit framed by a firm tannic structure and concludes with a long, perfumed and somewhat firm finish. A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, it is being matured in 50% new oak, with a significant proportion in 400-liter barrels rather than standard barriques.

The 2025 Pédesclaux is powerful, rich and expansive, yet it retains striking finesse to temper all of the natural intensity of this warm, dry year. Pédesclaux certainly has a lot to offer. Lifted floral notes, silky contours and gorgeous blue/purplish fruit are some of the signatures that grace this expressive, generous Pauillac. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2045.

Lots of purity, with freshness and a linear, evenly distributed dark fruit profile. There is elegance and a chewy texture that’s precise and focused, with good definition.

Cassis, assorted blue fruits, sappy flowers, and violets all emerge from the 2025 Château Pédesclaux, with some graphite and classic Pauillac nuances rounding out the bouquet as it sits in the glass. Based on 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot that's being raised 18 months in 50% new French oak with the balance in once-used barrels, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, balanced, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It's one of the finest I've tasted from this château.

Dark aromas on the nose, fragrant purple flowers, tobacco, cedar, liquorice and black cherries – smells quite medicinal. Round and so well textured – smooth and friendly, this has such a gorgeous dollop of red fruit on the mid palate, a tiny bit chalky which is so enjoyable with such fine, delicate tannins but it’s the energy that I really like too. So well constructed and balanced. Less ‘strong’ than in some years, this is friendly and compelling. A fabulous wine. Concentration at the end, with the liquorice, tobacco and wet stones. Really quite impressive. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.68pH. 65 IPT. Ageing 50% new oak. Harvest 8-20 September. Drink 2033-2050.
