Critic reviews
"The 2014 Pédesclaux has a tightly wound bouquet with redcurrant and crushed strawberry fruit, cedar and cigar box aromas filtering through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, plenty of black fruit laced with cedar and black pepper, though it does not quite deliver the complexity that I think the 2015 will on the finish. Still, it is a very capable vintage from the rejuvenated château that is certainly going places in the same way that Pontet-Canet did in the 1990s. Tasted twice with consistent notes."
Neal Martin, March 2017, RobertParker.com

"The 2014 Pédesclaux has a pinched bouquet that even after aeration does not really shine, certainly not like it did just after bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit that sport quite a strong marine-like/brine influence, almost Saint Estèphe in style towards the tertiary, slightly brutish finish that needs a couple of years to calm down. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting."
Neal Martin, February 2018, Vinous.com

"The 2014 Pédesclaux is a very pretty, open-knit wine. Succulent dark cherry, mint, plum, smoke and leather, along with silky tannins, give the wine its soft contours and pleasant, up-front personality. The 2014 is a bit one-dimensional but quite attractive. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later. The blend is 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 47 % Merlot. In 2014, the harvest took place between September 30 and October 17 at Pédesclaux's brand-new facility, which features state-of-the-art equipment. The 2014 saw 60 days of skin contact - very long by any measure - with malolactic fermentation in barrel."
Antonio Galloni, February 2017, Vinous.com

"A solid 2014 with firm and silky tannins that give the wine tightness and focus. Full body. Lovely fruit and a flavorful finish. Racy and focused. Drink after 2024."
James Suckling, February 2019, JamesSuckling.com

"The first wine made at the new cellar, the 2014 Château Pédesclaux checks in as 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot aged in 65% new French oak. It's a beautiful wine in the vintage that has awesome purity and precision in its black raspberries, cassis, crushed flowers, and hints of river rock-like minerality. Medium-bodied, silky, pure, incredibly elegant and seamless, with gorgeous purity and elegance, it's a knockout wine in the vintage."
Jeb Dunnuck, October 2018, JebDunnuck.com

"Tasted blind. Slightly greyish crimson. Slightly sweaty, sweet with the tannins a bit rasping on the finish. Not bad but with a little heat on the end."
