Château Patache d'Aux is set in the heart of a prestigious vineyard that used to be a stopover for stagecoaches passing through the region. Locally known as “Pataches”, these stagecoaches gave their name to the estate. Covering 63 hectares, the vineyard is divided between the communes of Bégadan and Saint-Christoly-Médoc. Currently owned by Antoine MOUEIX, the vines are planted on a small hill, on limestone soils known as “Bédégan limestone”. The Château's grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, offering the winemaker the opportunity to create a wine unique to each vintage.

About

The 2006 vintage gradually opens up, giving way to mellow tannins and a wine that's pleasant to drink. Its chocolaty mouthfeel is perfect for a dish of sweetbreads with morel mushrooms.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why serve this 2006 with veal sweetbreads and morels?

This is the pairing expressly recommended by the shop, which highlights the wine’s chocolatey palate. The tannins, described as smooth, also provide a useful guide when choosing this bottle to serve with the dish.

Does the chocolatey palate suggest saving this Médoc for dessert?

No: this expression describes a sensation on the palate, not a pairing with dessert or an indication of sweetness. The suggested pairing is indeed a savory dish: veal sweetbreads with morels.

What does “opens up gradually” mean when appreciating this vintage?

The shop describes a wine that evolves to reveal smooth tannins and makes for pleasant drinking. However, this indication does not allow us to determine either how much longer it can be cellared or how long it should be decanted.

How much weight should I give the Parker score of 86 when choosing this bottle?

This score provides a point of reference, but no commentary from the critic is provided to explain it. To find out whether this wine suits your tastes, the descriptions of its chocolatey palate and smooth tannins are more concrete.

Is this a bottle to consider if I’m mainly looking for a very fruit-forward red?

The description focuses instead on the smooth texture and chocolatey palate, without specifying the expression of the fruit. These two characteristics are therefore better documented for this 2006 than its suitability for someone seeking very expressive fruit.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
