Critic reviews
"More introverted and brooding than the previous vintages, the 2024 Pedésclaux reveals aromas of licorice, spices, oak and cassis mingled with notes of green bell pepper. Medium-bodied, supple and layered, it's lively with tangy acids and a firm chassis of tannins that lead to a short, spicy finish. This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot is a rather compact Pédesclaux."
Yohan Castaing, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Pédesclaux has a backward bouquet of blackberry and light cassis fruit with neatly integrated oak (50% new) and hints of graphite in the background. I find this to be well defined, focused and classic Pauillac in style. The tensile and medium-bodied palate offers chiselled tannins, fine brightness and vivid blue fruit to furnish the finish. A quite delicious Pédesclaux within the context of the growing season, this is worth seeking out."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 Pédesclaux is one of the finest wines I have tasted here in some time. The move to increase the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend over the last 15 years is starting to pay some serious dividends. Expressive savory notes lead into blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, menthol and grilled herbs. This is beautifully done. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"A light but crunchy wine with plenty of red cherries, minerals and hibiscus. Medium-bodied palate with juicy fruit and firm, fine-grained tannins. Long and really balanced. There is a lot to like if you want freshness and drinkability. 68% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Cloves and white truffle dominate the opening moments of the wine, and this is sappy and slatey with plenty of bright blueberry and red cherry fruits, good depth and texture. A lovely wine, if shorter through the finish than in recent vintages. Harvest 24 September to 19 October. 3.66 pH. 30% new oak for ageing."
