Critic reviews
"The 2025 Pedésclaux reveals aromas of dark wild berries, cassis, blackberry and floral notes, combining freshness with approachability. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s structured yet enveloping, built around a juicy core of fruit framed by a firm tannic structure and concludes with a long, perfumed and somewhat firm finish. A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, it is being matured in 50% new oak, with a significant proportion in 400-liter barrels rather than standard barriques."

"The 2025 Pédesclaux was picked from September 8 to 19, finishing with the Petit Verdot. It has a sorbet-fresh nose, more red than black fruit, touches of pine emerging, a little natural in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and slightly coarse tannins. Quite grippy, peppery, but I find the finish missing some substance and precision. Hopefully, it will gain a little more complexity during its barrel maturation."

"The 2025 Pédesclaux is powerful, rich and expansive, yet it retains striking finesse to temper all of the natural intensity of this warm, dry year. Pédesclaux certainly has a lot to offer. Lifted floral notes, silky contours and gorgeous blue/purplish fruit are some of the signatures that grace this expressive, generous Pauillac. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"Juicy, enjoyable, slate, crayon, plenty of Pauillac character, good quality, manages to capture juice without biting acidity."
