Château Pédesclaux Pauillac 2017
Descripción
Fiel reflejo de la complejidad de su terroir de origen, Château Pédesclaux figura entre los mejores vinos de Pauillac. Sensual, denso, profundo, fresco y con tensión, estamos ante un tinto que en esta cosecha celebra los 10 años desde que la familia Lorenzetti llegara a la propiedad e iniciara su celebrada transformación.

This is packed with rich ripe fruit, a supple texture and a burnished oak feel that adds character to the vintage without being overdone. What this estate has done successfully is work with the issues of 2017 and presented a wine that is slick and has polish.
Lots of plum and cherry aromas with terracotta and crushed-stone undertones. Full to medium body. Tight and juicy on the palate. Round, firm tannins, yet really spicy and flavorful. Cloves and nutmeg. Hints of new oak. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Need three or four years to come together. Better after 2022.
This estate has been on a roll of late, fashioning outstanding wine after outstanding wine, and the 2017 Chateau Pedesclaux is terrific. Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, aged in 40% new oak and representing just 60% of the total production, it reveals a vivid purple hue as well as perfumed notes of cassis, violets, and graphite. Incredibly elegant, balanced, and with silky tannins, it’s a classic Pauillac that’s already approachable yet will evolve for 20 years or more.
Depuis 10 ans, chaque millésime permet au cru de monter une marche supplémentaire. Il ne faut pas négliger ce 2017 au raffinement jusqu'ici jamais atteint par Pédesclaux. Un vin dense et aristocratique.
This generous wine revels in its ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. It has firm tannins already fully integrated into the ripe blackberry fruit notes. Drink this fine wine from 2024.
