Presentation

As young vineyards are not suitable for wine production at the level of quality required by Patache d'Aux, they are processed differently so as to obtain a lighter and fresher Medoc. Pleasant with a fruity, supple character. It should be drunk during the years generally following a relatively early bottling. The annual production of the Relais de Patache d'Aux represents 10% of the total production of the vineyard.
