Chateau Pedesclaux, Pauillac, 2016
One of Bordeaux's great turnaround stories in a bottle. Pedesclaux is a Fifth Growth in Pauillac that spent decades flying under the radar until real-estate magnate Jacky Lorenzetti bought it in 2009, poured in serious investment, and built a gravity-flow winery that put the estate firmly back on the map. The 2016 is a classic left-bank blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, filled out with Merlot plus a little Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in French oak. 2016 was a benchmark Pauillac vintage, giving wines with ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and firm but polished tannins built for the long haul. It's drinking nicely now with a decant, but there's no rush, this will reward another decade-plus in the cellar. Serve around 60-65F.
