Chateau Pedesclaux ‘Fleur de Pedesclaux’ Pauillac

Fleur de Pedesclaux is the ‘Super Second’ wine of the fifth growth Chateau Pedeslaux located in the Medoc’s Pauillac appellation.

It is an unusual blend for Left-Bank Bordeaux, and Pauillac in particular, as it is made up of a high proportion of Merlot (and in 2012 was entirely Merlot!).

The 2014 is a blend of 89% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot & 2% Cabernet Franc from all over the 49.7 hectare site.

Some of the vines are situated next to some of the most famous vineyards in the world, belonging to Mouton-Rothschild from Chateau d’Armailhac.

The wine itself has spent 16 months in French oak with 10% being in new oak after an extended period of cold pre-fermentation maceration, providing rounded velvety tannins.

This is a good solid claret. Lots of structure, power and weight alongside lifted floral finesse, dark berries and some chocolate notes.
