Chateau Pedesclaux Pauillac 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine

Chateau Pedesclaux Pauillac 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine is an exceptional 5th Grand Cru Classe expression that beautifully captures the essence of a classic Pauillac vintage. Composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, this medium-bodied red wine displays a deep garnet-purple color and a complex aromatic profile of crushed blackberries, currants, and violets, layered with savory notes of graphite, cedar, and cigar box. On the palate, it offers a seamless texture with fine-grained, polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads to a long, mineral-inflected finish. Having aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak, this vintage represents a significant upswing in quality for the estate, showcasing both richness and finesse that allow it to be approachable now with aeration while possessing the structure to evolve gracefully in the cellar for several decades.
