Last week we had the immense pleasure of visiting the Château Pédesclaux, a real treasure nestled between Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac. To truly appreciate the harmony between modern glass and traditional Bordeaux stone, you must get close. The reception rooms are magnificent, and the river view is breathtaking. We were so captivated by the beauty of the place that we forgot to take photos of the view!
The cellar at Château Pédesclaux is a feat of architectural and technological engineering. Built in collaboration with the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, it preserves the aromas of the grapes thanks to a completely gravity-based elevator system, similar to that observed at Cos d’Estournel and Lynch Bages.
The combination of the ultra-modern steel tanks with stone, wood and glass creates a captivating experience; the Pédesclaux cellar is one of the most beautiful we have visited.
Art is present throughout Château Pédesclaux: from paintings in the castle’s rooms to sculptures in the park and the cellar.
We are delighted by this discovery that ended with a lunch in the park of the Château Lilian Ladouys while enjoying steaks from Pigout butcher shop in Saint-Estèphe.
