🍷 Wine Style
State-of-the-art gravity-fed winery (built in 2014 by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte). Micro-vinification by parcel in small temperature-controlled vats. Aged 16–18 months in French oak barrels, ~50% new. Gentle extraction, precision, and purity are key winemaking principles. Château Pédesclaux produces refined Pauillac wines that blend power and elegance, with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, violet, and subtle spice. The tannins are fine and structured, and the wines offer freshness, depth, and impressive aging potential.
