Robert Parker famously said of another 5th growth Pauillac “Life is too short for Croizet Bages”.
Pédesclaux unfortunately fell into the category - until lately.
The estate was spruced up (they have a pretty nice “bed and breakfast” there now) and attention focused on improving the wine. The 27 hectares produce 170,000 bottles a year.
The Jugla family have sold to Jacky Lorenzetti, who purchased Ch. Lilian Ladouys in Saint-Estèphe not long ago.
So, in my humble opinion, Pédesclaux is one to watch in the coming years.
