Winemaker note
Intense ruby color with clear and bright reflections.
The nose displays a lovely bouquet of dark red fruits, a
delicate mix of blackcurrant and raspberry, with subtle hints of vanilla. On the palate, the attack is fresh and the tannins are soft. Pleasant notes of cheery wood lingers in mouth.
A fine and delicate wine.

Winemaker note
Château La Patache 2016 has a garnet nearly ruby red colour with beautiful depth.
The first nose surprises with orange zest and truffles. After circular move- ment of the glass, come mingle with these first notes a complete palette of red fruit like strawberry and raspberry along with flavors of balsamic and liquorice with violet hints.
In the mouth, a beautiful fresh attack developing the fruit. The tannins are still firm but well-integrated. The long finish gives the impression of crunch- ing in red fruit.

Winemaker note
Complexe nose reminding of pencil lead, tar, truffle, undergrowth and cassis buds. The Cabernet Franc carries floral notes. Rich and profound, focused, powerful and balanced, the final lengthens into spices. Liquorice, basket of ripe black fruits, cherry, slightly bitter black chocolate.
The barrel ageing is already well integrated
into the wine, with time it will
melt in order to create an even more
harmonious whole..

Winemaker note
Focused and complex nose, wild strawberries, kirsch cherries, peony and undergrowth. Chewy tannins yet velvety, the structure benefits from a good balance.
Crushed strawberries, black cherries and licorice. Intense with a persistent and juicy finish. A wine that has years ahead of him.
