Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
A new, ultra-modern, luxurious, and efficient winemaking facility reflects the ambitions of the new owner, Jacky Lorenzetti. He clearly aims to produce one of the best wines in his appellation and has acquired very high-quality vineyards near Mouton-Rothschild, which should help him achieve his goal. These technically brilliant wines continue to improve with each new vintage.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 95/100
About the wine:
On the nose, dark aromas: fragrant violet blossoms, tobacco, cedar, licorice, and black cherries—with somewhat medicinal notes. Round and beautifully textured—supple and approachable, it offers a magnificent touch of red fruit on the mid-palate, with a slight chalky note that pairs wonderfully with fine, delicate tannins, but it’s above all its energy that I really love. Very well-structured and balanced. Less “powerful” than some vintages, it’s approachable and captivating. A fabulous wine. A lovely concentration on the finish, with notes of licorice, tobacco, and wet stones. Truly very impressive. 1% Petit Verdot rounds out the blend. pH 3.68. 65 IPT. Aging: 50% in new oak barrels. Harvested September 8–20. 2033–2050

About the estate:
Françoise and Jacky Lorenzetti sold their real estate agency chain (Foncia) and purchased this château in 2009 from the Jugla family. They undertook major renovations to the vineyard and the cellar (including the construction of a new wine cellar by Jean-Michel Wilmotte) to restore the reputation of this estate, founded in 1810, whose vineyard now covers approximately 50 hectares following the acquisition of new plots.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular improvements seen in Bordeaux in recent years. Pédesclaux, acquired by Jacky Lorenzetti in 2009, has undergone a complete transformation—from the vineyards to the cellars—that is both spectacular and at the cutting edge of modernity. Under the guidance of Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen, the wines have improved steadily, vintage after vintage, with small, careful refinements. They are now fully deserving of their ranking and, above all, stand out as remarkable values for the money.

About the wine:
50% new barrels are used for aging Pédesclaux, including some in large casks as well, while the proportion of 400-liter barrels has been increased. “Ideally, we’d like to reach 20% 400-liter barrels and large casks,” explains Christophe Bonjour. With good intensity, Pédesclaux’s bouquet reveals classic hints of cedar and graphite, complemented by notes of black berries and licorice, followed by a touch of fresh wood. On the palate, the wine is smooth on the attack and features perfectly integrated tannins. These tannins, precise and powerful, provide structure and hold the entire palate together, working in harmony with the acidity, which imparts a welcome freshness as well as a hint of salinity on the finish. 2029–2050
