Fleur de Pédesclaux Pauillac AOC (Château Pédesclaux 2nd wine)

Like all the greatest wines of the appellation, Château Pédesclaux has the complexity that reflects the terroir it springs from. On this mosaic of soils, the clays convey power while the gravels express pure elegance. Pédesclaux embodies the depth that is the quintessence of Pauillac, balanced by a unique sensuality with each vintage, the painstaking work on these excellent plots pays off, while the revolutionary equipment in the winery enables the wine to develop its own unique personality.

Ethereal, fresh, appealing to both the nose and the palate, Pédesclaux’s second wine is a flower that unfurls as you approach. Unusually for Pauillac, the Fleur de Pedesclaux is predominantly made from Merlot along with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot depending on the vintage.

The 2023 Fleur de Pédesclaux represents a vibrant, approachable expression of Pauillac. It stands out due to a unique blend profile featuring a notably high percentage of Petit Verdot (up to 14%), which injects distinct floral, mint, and dark-chocolate complexities into the wine.
