Chateau Potensac Medoc 2016
The 2016 Château Potensac is a standout vintage, offering a polished, modern expression of classic Médoc character.
Expect vibrant blackcurrant, ripe red berries, and subtle cedar unfolding over fine, integrated tannins, lifted by a fresh, mineral edge that reflects its limestone‑gravel soils. Medium to full‑bodied with impressive depth and a long, elegant finish, this wine balances richness with precision, making it both immediately charming and capable of graceful ageing.
A refined, quietly powerful Bordeaux that overdelivers on pedigree and poise.
Château Potensac is a historic Médoc estate rooted in the Delon family lineage, perched on a high limestone‑rich plateau in the northern Médoc where gravel, clay, and ancient Cabernet vines shape its signature style. Planted to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot, the vineyard benefits from a terroir similar to nearby Saint‑Estèphe, producing wines that are structured, firm, and built for longevity. With winemaking overseen by the same technical team as Léoville Las Cases, Potensac delivers classically framed Bordeaux marked by purity, freshness, and impressive ageing potential.
