Tasting notes

"One of the showpieces of the Médoc, this structured and firm wine has strong Cabernet flavours that give both dry tannins and juicy black currant fruits. Still youthful, this balanced wine is likely to age well. Drink from 2018."
90pts, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast.

"From the Delon family, owners of Leoville Las Cases in Saint Julien and Nenin in Pomerol, this is usually a reliable wine. It has good minerality, deep blackcurrant and cherry fruit, medium body and a nice, spicy, earthy mouthfeel. The finish is quite good, and the wine capable of lasting up to a decade."
Robert M. Parker, Jr., 30 April 2015

The Potensac estate has been in the same family since time immemorial and has always been handed down by women. The current owner, Jean-Hubert Delon, inherited the estate from his paternal grandmother, Georgette Liquard.

Although close to the river, Potensac is situated on a high point of land in the Médoc. Planted on the best quality soils in the Ordonnac district, the vineyards now extend over 60 hectares on a terroir where the typical characteristics of each grape variety express themselves very distinctly and give the wine superb ageing potential. On the palate, the wine is pure and powerful, the tannins dense and spicy, and the finish of great depth with glorious aromas. Because of these qualities, Château Potensac is often considered to represent the "pure Medoc style". The blend for 2015 was Cabernet Sauvignon 38%, Merlot 45% and Cabernet Franc 17%.
