Pedesclaux 5 ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac - Methusalem 6L, 2017

Château Pedesclaux 2017 in Methuselah format is a striking expression of Pauillac, bringing the refinement of a Fifth Growth classified Bordeaux together with the drama of a rare 6L bottle. Sourced from one of the Médoc’s historic estates, it offers the classic Left Bank mix of structure, precision, and ageing pedigree that collectors value.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep garnet core with youthful violet reflections. The nose typically leans toward blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, and subtle tobacco, with the 2017 vintage often adding a fresher, more lifted floral edge. On the palate, Pedesclaux usually shows a polished yet firmly framed Pauillac character: ripe dark fruit, firm but fine-grained tannins, and a long, savoury finish marked by spice and mineral notes. The Methuselah format supports especially graceful ageing, and this wine should continue to develop complexity for many years, gaining more secondary notes of leather, truffle, and cigar box with time.

Production
Pedesclaux is located in Pauillac, where gravelly soils and the moderating influence of the Gironde help Cabernet Sauvignon thrive alongside Merlot and other classic Bordeaux varieties. The estate’s vineyards are typically harvested parcel by parcel to preserve precision and ripeness, followed by careful vinification designed to highlight freshness, structure, and the estate’s distinctive Left Bank identity.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roast lamb, entrecôte, beef fillet, game birds, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, especially to let the structure and aromas fully open.

Producer
Château Pedesclaux is a Fifth Growth estate from the 1855 Bordeaux classification, and one of Pauillac’s established names. Over time, the property has strengthened its reputation for producing elegant, Cabernet-driven wines that reflect the power and finesse of the appellation, with a growing focus on precision and consistency in modern vintages.
