In Clive Coates MW’s seminal work ‘The Wines and Domaines of France’, Château Pédesclaux is referred to as an ‘under-achieving classed growth’.
Stephen Brook, in ‘The Complete Bordeaux’ notes that this Pauillac fifth growth had a ‘dreary reputation’, with the wines of the 1980s and 1990s lacking interest.
However, following the purchase of Pédesclaux by French-Swiss real-estate investor Jacky Lorenzetti in 2009, there has been dramatic investment in both vineyard and production facilities.
