2010 | Chateau Patris | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Plum and blueberry fruit, a good sticthing of tobacco leaf and an integrated roasted vanilla bean note through the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From proprietor Michel Querre, this blend of 95% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, attractive, plump and seductive, with loads of incense, licorice, black currants and jammy cherry-like notes. Some roasted herbs, mocha and spice box are also present in this wine.

• James Suckling: More forward than most of the pack, with plum and blueberry fruit, a good sticthing of tobacco leaf and an integrated roasted vanilla bean note through the finish. Not as grippy as when tasted from barrel, this seems quite approachable already.

Producer Information

Acquired in 1967 by the present owners, Geneviève and Michel Querre, Château Patris is located on the southern side of the Saint-Emilion slopes in a continuation of the vineyards of Château Angélus. The 9-hectare estate has outstanding sun exposure and is naturally sheltered from cold north winds. Grapes ripen perfectly here on a soil made of sans-d on chalk and clay. Château Patris is made with the greatest of care, bunch and leaf thinning are regularly done. The grapes are picked manually into small crates to avoid bruising. Vinification combines tradition and modernity, making the most of the potential offered by vintages. Michel and Geneviève Querre and their team seek to produce a deep Saint-Emilion with a velvety but well-structured texture. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats. The use of new barrels always ensures the respect of the fruit: 60% aging is done in new barrels renewed in full each year for the first wine.
