Château Potensac – Médoc – Red – 2020 – 3000 ml:

 

Château Potensac: A Cru Bourgeois of Classed Growth Quality

Under the meticulous direction of the Delon family (also of Léoville Las Cases), Château Potensac is renowned for producing a classic Claret that consistently outshines its Cru Bourgeois status. Located on the high gravel-clay plateau of Ordonnac, this wine is a true expression of the northern Médoc terroir: structured, pure, and built to last.

Tasting Profile & Terroir

• Appearance: Rich, deep garnet.
• Bouquet: Elegant and complex, featuring concentrated dark berries (cassis, plum), intertwined with notes of woodsmoke, cigar box, and a refreshing graphite minerality.
• Taste: Full-bodied and finely chiselled. The palate is defined by its powerful, yet silky-smooth tannins and vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, deeply satisfying finish that showcases both the fruit’s ripeness and the wine’s classic structure.

Food Matching & Service

A wine for the cellar, Potensac should be served at 17-18°C, ideally with robust, traditional fare. Decanting is recommended for younger vintages.

• Recommended Food Matches: Traditional Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Game Pie (Venison/Pheasant), Mature English Cheddar, Beef and Ale Stew.
