2023 Chateau Potensac

Château Potensac is located in the Haut-Médoc region of the Médoc. While numerous Médoc wines are of higher quality than the Haut-Médoc, Potensac is a striking example. This wine is produced by Michel Delon of Leoville las Cases in St. Julien. Due to various extensions, the spireless church in the hamlet of Potensac is now part of the estate.

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 located near the river, Potensac sits on a high plateau in the northern Medoc. Because of this location, the site has been populated since ancient times. The name "Medoc" actually comes from "medio aquae," meaning "in the middle of the waters." Planted on the finest quality soils in the Ordonnac district, the vineyards now extend over 60 hectares in a terroir where the typical characteristics of each grape variety are clearly expressed, giving the wine excellent aging potential.

Château Potensac is always highly recommended, given its excellent price-quality ratio. 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, expertise, and team. The 61-hectare vineyard is situated on one of the highest points in the Northern Médoc, with historic parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. Château Potensac is often considered representative of the "pure Médoc style." Ratings: James Suckling 93-94 points - Jane Anson 92 points - Alexandre Ma 92-93 points - Wine Advocate 89-91 points
