A Refined Expression of Pomerol
The 2015 vintage of Château La Patache Pomerol is a beautifully crafted wine that exemplifies the estate's exceptional terroir and the meticulous work of Peter Kwok and his son Howard. Acquired in 2012, Château La Patache continues to impress with each vintage, and this vinatge is no exception. Known for its roundness, depth, and concentration, this wine represents a perfect blend of tradition and modern winemaking.
Tasting Notes
The 2015 vintage presents a deep, garnet colour, with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it reveals rich and smooth flavours of dark berries, with nuances of chocolate and a delicate earthy undertone. The wine’s fine tannins are perfectly integrated, offering balance and structure while allowing the expressive fruit character to shine through. The long finish is smooth and velvety, with a touch of minerality that adds complexity and depth to this exceptional Pomerol.
Perfect Serve
The 2015 Château La Patache Pomerol pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or duck. It also complements rich, creamy cheeses and flavourful stews. Its full-bodied nature and long finish make it an ideal choice for special occasions or an elegant dinner party.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Château La Patache, acquired in 2012 by Peter Kwok and his son Howard, is a Right Bank gem with a fascinating history. "Patache" refers to an old way station on the road between Bordeaux and Lyon. The region's potential for great wine production was discovered at the end of the 19th century, and La Patache evolved into a single château with its own identity.
This 3.5-hectare estate is blessed with a unique terroir, consisting of clayey soils with fine gravels and iron-rich clay in the subsoil. The vineyard, located in the heart of Pomerol, includes 1 hectare facing the famed Château Clinet. The property’s old post office is now the château, and the stables have been transformed into cellars, adding to the estate’s historic charm.

from 537 reviewsWe invited the lovely Rector of our parish church (the oldest church in Surrey) over for supper with her equally charming husband a while back. They were very kind enough to bring a bottle of this wonderful wine with them as a gift. We liked it so much I subsequently ordered 7 bottles from The Wine Shop to be delivered. I can recommend the wine AND The Wine Shop highly. In fact I have just placed a further order for another 8 bottles.
This one was a surprise find at a local restaurant, so we sought it out to order more. It's hard to describe a flavour, as much as it is to describe sound, but it may be easier to recount my experience of it. Here goes... It has good balance of fruit and body; it doesn't dry the mouth nor kill my palate after a single glass. It's a Primitivo from Puglia, so it has that character. Definitely recommended.
Thought I would give this wine a go as it was a favourite of Winston Churchill, well what can I say but Winston had great taste in red wine. A lovely dark red colour and a deceptive first slurp brings a super easy drink which then catches up to you with a powerful warm feeling in your stomach. Let’s just say it’s dangerously good. 😉
This is my second order of 12 bottles! Lovely wine, easy drinking! Mellow, light fruity notes and a clean refreshing finish!
This Primitivo is waaaay above the equivalent you would be able to buy in a supermarket at a comparable price point.
It pairs really well with Lasagna and rich meaty pasta dishes. Stands up well with strong flavours, such as garlic.
In fact it would pair well with a beef stew from any country, goulash etc.
It is also a lovely velvety wine that could be enjoyed on its own after the meal.
Fantastic value and easy drinking, in a good way.
Great service from the he Wine Shop, really quick delivery well packed and the wine was splendid.
Wine Shop offered the best price and I can highly recommend them.
My first ever wine from the Wine Shop! This is a beautifully smooth wine but which also has a bit of ‘bite’. Very happy with this wine and I’ll be back!
Bought this as a present for my 22 year old son who was 15 when he first had a taste on a D Day visit 7 years ago. The wine is just as I remembered it, smooth and round, a delicious drink. My son also enjoyed the taste, as an adult.
It doesn’t get better than this!
I love Botter chianti. It has a great peppery finish and the bottle is a delight. Quick and reliable delivery too.
Amazing wine and a 24 hours delivery service.
Excellent service. Thank you
Very moreish sparkling Pinot Grigio at a reasonable price. Light and refreshing with none of the acidity or slight chemical aftertaste you often get with sparkling wines at this price. Went through a dozen bottles far too quickly.
This full fruity , complex red is our absolute favourite!
A delightfully crisp NZ wine with a citrusy finish. Well worth the money and went down well with all who participated
This is a superb wine - full but not heavy, fruity and smooth. Perfect for sharing on an autumn evening.
