Description

The 2020 vintage is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
In the glass, Château Pédesclaux has a deep, dark purple-red, almost opaque colour with aromas of blackcurrant on the nose, complemented by hints of cedar and subtle spices. On the palate, the wine presents a balanced structure with juicy cassis flavours, supported by clean, cedar notes. The tannins are well integrated, contributing to a medium-length body and a predominantly fruity character. The finish is long and harmonious, with persistent fruity and spicy nuances.

This is very chewy with dusty tannins and blackberry and blueberry character. Some chocolate, too. Full and layered. Such beautiful violet and black-cherry quality at the end with some raspberries, 56% cabernet sauvignon. 34% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. First year with organic farming. A nice step-up in quality.

From: Vingt-Vingt Vins: Bordeaux 2020 (May 2021)
The 2020 Pédesclaux clearly possesses more complexity and terroir expression than the Deuxième Vin, featuring pressed iris and violet intermixed with blackberry and blueberry scents. There is an underlying mineralité/crushed rock note in the background that lends tension. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Saline and marine influenced, this is more sapid than maybe the previous two vintages, though it would benefit from a little more elegance and precision on the finish. But overall, this is a fine Pauillac.
