Château Patris

The vineyard is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux) in the direct neighbourhood of Château Angélus. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé. It was acquired by Michael and Genevieve Querre in 1967. The estate became widely known through a blind tasting organised by the well-known German wine collector Hardy Rodenstock (1941-2018) in Hamburg. The 2000 vintage was rated better than Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Margaux and Château Mouton-Rothschild, for example. When the astonished tasters only understood "Château Pétrus", Rodenstock's clarifying answer was: "Château Patris - not Château Pétrus". The vineyards cover nine hectares and are planted with Merlot (80%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 months in up to 60% new barriques. The second wine is called "Filius de Château Patris".
