{"title":"Fleur de Pedesclaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eFleur de Pedesclaux is the second wine of Château Pedesclaux, one of the great turnaround stories in Pauillac, and a friendly way into a property that has been transformed since 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePedesclaux goes back to 1810, when the Bordeaux merchant Pierre Urbain Pedesclaux bought vineyard land in Pauillac, and the Jugla family owned it from 1950 until 2009. For decades it flew under the radar. That changed when Jacky Lorenzetti, who also owns Lilian Ladouys and Lafon-Rochet in Saint-Estèphe and half of Château d'Issan in Margaux, bought it in 2009. He expanded the vineyard with parcels on the Milon plateau and near Pontet-Canet, mapped the soils in detail, and had the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte renovate the château and build a gravity-fed cellar, finished in the mid-2010s. The roughly 50 hectares sit on deep Garonne gravel over clay, neighbors to estates like Lynch-Bages and Mouton's sister Château d'Armailhac, and have been certified organic since 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grand vin is built on Cabernet Sauvignon. Fleur, which used to be called Lucien de Pedesclaux, draws on the same vineyard but leans much more on Merlot, so it is softer and readier sooner. Expect cassis, cedar and gravelly Pauillac savor in an approachable frame: Pauillac to open while the grand vin waits.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fleur-de-pedesclaux-pauillac-2022","title":"Fleur de Pedesclaux, Pauillac, 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eA way into Pauillac's gravel without the wait: this is the second wine of Chateau Pedesclaux, a fifth growth in the 1855 classification, drawn from the same vineyard as the Grand Vin but built to be drunk sooner. Jacky Lorenzetti bought the estate in 2009 and rebuilt it from the ground up, with a gravity-fed cellar, plot-by-plot vinification and organic certification across the fifty-odd hectares. The 2022 leans Merlot, roughly half the blend, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and a little Petit Verdot, and it spends a year in used French oak rather than new, so the fruit and the Pauillac savor come through instead of vanilla. That summer was hot and very dry in Bordeaux, and yet the wines came in with unexpected freshness. Drink it over the next eight years or so; an hour in a decanter helps it along now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TWINS Bordeaux, America [FOV] [TBA]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432760954937,"sku":"NYC-W-TBA-`TBA`-083126-245","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Fleur-de-Pedesclaux-Pauillac-2022-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1788447168"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/fleur-de-pedesclaux.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
