Tasting Note

One of the best ever with super currants, mint, mineral and iodine. Crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, it has wonderful caressing tannins that run the length of the wine. A real Potensac, cabernet-driven, that goes on for minutes. - JamesSuckling.com 96/100

Product Notes

Château Potensac Médoc wine is a top-tier French red from Bordeaux. It presents a deep, robust colour and a complex bouquet exuding dark berries, earthy undertones, and delicate spices. Upon tasting, there's a remarkable balance of flavours; bold fruit envelopes the palate while hints of cedar and leather add depth. The tannins are wonderfully integrated, lending a refined structure. There is an enduring finish that echoes rich cocoa and subtle tobacco notes. Château Potensac Médoc wine represents French viticulture in its finest form - a mature, sophisticated wine ideal for special occasions.

Under the deft stewardship of the Delon family, the Château Potensac has furthermore seen significant strides in blending traditional winemaking methods with innovative techniques. With a preference for organic farming, the vineyard underlines the importance of preserving its ecological balance, which directly influences the quality of the grapes and as such the wine.
