Château Patache D'Aux - 2002 - Château Patache d'Aux
Ref: A039402
Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Médoc, Bégadan

From 43 hectares of vineyard, Patrice Ricard and his team make an exciting Cru Bourgeois which is very definitely Cabernet Sauvignon dominated. Recent vintages have been deliciously supple with a juicy, grassy blackcurrant fruitiness and deep colours. The wine is aged in 30% new oak giving an attractive, spicy vanillin nose, adding to the already opulent character of the wine.

Cabernet-Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet-Franc 7% and Petit Verdot 3%

The Chevaliers d’Aux (descendants of the Comtes d’Armagnac) were the first owners of this Domaine in Bégadan in 1632. Seized as a state property after the French Revolution, this estate was then turned into a post house for carriages, then better known in the Médoc under the name « Patache ». In 1964, Claude Lapalu, whose family had been settled in Tunisia for several generations, came back to France and bought the Château Patache d'Aux.

Classified as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932.
