Château Patache d’Aux, another overachiever, gained Cru Bourgeois Supérieur status, a step up from Cru Bourgeois, with the 2025 classification. The youthful 2018 delivers great aromatics followed by an attractive dark, slightly tarry mineral underpinning. I would open and decant this beauty a few hours before serving or, alternatively, keep it in the cellar for another couple of years.
