2022 Chateau Potensac

Château Potensac is located on the Haut-Médoc soil in the Médoc. Although there are many Médoc wines with a higher quality than the Haut-Médoc's, Potensac is a striking example of this. This wine is also made by Michel Delon of Leoville las Cases in St. Julien. Due to the various extensions, the spireless church in the hamlet of Potensac is part of the domain.

The estate has been in the same family since time immemorial and has always been passed down through 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 piece of land in the northern Medoc. Due to this position, the site has been populated since ancient times. The name "Medoc" in fact comes from "medio aquae" which means "in the middle of the waters". 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 are very clearly expressed and give the wine an excellent aging potential.

Always a highly recommended wine given the excellent price/quality is Chateau Potensac. This family estate is owned by the Delon family (Ch. Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis, Ch.Nénin). The estates are managed with the same care and the same expertise and team. The vineyard of 61 ha is located on one of the highest points of the Northern Médoc with historic parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc dating from the twenties and thirties.
