From an iconic cellar, dedicated now to all things organic, this is a magnificent 95-point Pauillac. With great depth of crushed berry fruit and graphite elegance, richly textured tannins and brooding intensity, it’s a fine claret, built to last.

Founded 200 years ago, Château Pédesclaux is a magnificent estate, both in terms of wine and architecture. It combines the beauty of the 19th century with the modernity and technological advances of the 21st. The additional work was undertaken by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, whose aim was to place “production at the heart of the estate within a high-performance building that is entirely fit for purpose and makes a harmonious whole with both the château and its surroundings”. It's quite something to behold. Since the Lorenzetti family took ownership they've converted to organic. Their top wine is a rich, Cabernet-based claret, supported by Merlot, and finely expresses its gravel terroir. Still a young wine – best to cellar or open early.

"A crunchy and fresh 2020. Full-bodied with very firm and tight tannins" James Suckling
