Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

It was at the beginning of the 19th century that Pierre-Urbain Pédesclaux built the château, which he named after himself. Château Pédesclaux saw its vineyard expand over the years. His son, Pierre-Edmond, then acquired it, before his widow took over the management. After the Gastebois and Jugla families, the Lorenzetti family purchased this Pauillac château in 2009. They have remained the owners ever since, backed by a new team.
