CHATEAU PEDESCLAUX 2022 – Pauillac, Grand Cru Classé

Very elegant on the nose with an expressive floral bouquet (lilac, lily, iris, violet), precise and
subtle touches of aromatic herbs (fresh wild herbs, a touch of hay, wild mint, fresh tobacco,
thyme flower), spices (nutmeg, cumin, liquorice, crushed cardamom) and fresh and sappy
woody hints (fresh pine bark, a hint of dried pine needles, sap, fresh oak in the background
and toasted hazelnut). The fruits on the nose are tangy and ripe (bigarreau, morello cherry,
redcurrants, blackcurrants and blackberries dominant, associated with notes of crushed
raspberry and sweet wild strawberry), accompanied by notes of sweet fresh vanilla, dark chocolate with mint and tanginess of cocoa nibs that appear after aeration. The palate is
fresh, precise, gourmand with herbaceous and floral notes in attack (wild mint, cut wild
herbs, thyme flower, rosemary, fresh tobacco), then fresh flowers (lily, lilac, violet, hint of
wild rose). In the fruity material we find the dominant notes of blackcurrant and morello
cherry, as well as bigarreau cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry. The wine develops on
toasted (hazelnut), sappy and woody notes (fresh oak, dry needles, pine bark). Good acidity
and good length, airy, an elegant, refined, very aromatic wine. Beautiful tannic structure well
built and velvety, with a fine grain.
