Fleur de Pédesclaux 2018 is characterized by a high proportion of Merlot from clay-limestone soils. It has a rich nose of wild blackberries and gariguette strawberries, supported by spicy notes of cedar, camphor and Sichuan pepper. The palate, delicate and fresh, is supported by soft, velvety tannins. The finish, sapid and decadent, confirms the refined style of our very own Fleur de Pédesclaux. "This estate has made leaps and bounds in terms of quality over the past decade, and my money is on the 2018 Château Pédesclaux being the best to date." - Jeb Dunnuck
