CHATEAU PATACHE D'AUX MEDOC LES CHEVAUX PATACHE D'AUX 2022

Château Patache d'Aux produces Les Chevaux from Médoc's Left Bank, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot from gravelly soils that drain quickly and retain heat—the same terroir structure producing Bordeaux's classified growths. The estate's name references the historic postal relay stations where horses were changed during long journeys, connecting the château to centuries of Médoc winemaking tradition. This Bordeaux blend showcases classic Left Bank structure with Cabernet Sauvignon dominance softened by Merlot's roundness and complexity from Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, offering accessible Médoc character at a lower price point than neighboring appellations while maintaining the region's signature cassis, tobacco, and cedar profile with firm tannins built for aging.
