The 2019 Château Pédesclaux, a Pauillac wine, is described as a gorgeous, elegant, and concentrated wine with notes of cassis, bilberry, and a Pauillac bite, characterized by a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.
- Steak and Rich Meats: The wine's bold flavors and tannins make it an excellent match for steak, especially those with a rich flavor profile.
- Roast Chicken, Duck, and Game: The wine's complexity can complement the rich flavors of roasted meats, including chicken, duck, and game.
- Full-Flavored Cheeses: The wine's structure and fruit notes pair well with strong cheeses like blue cheese or aged cheddar.
- Barbeque Fare: The wine's bold flavors can stand up to the smoky and savory flavors of barbeque.
- Braised Dishes: The wine's tannins can be softened by the richness of braised dishes.
- Grilled Dishes: The wine's tannins can be balanced by the char of grilled dishes.
