Chateau Potensac Medoc 2015
$45.00
Under the same ownership as Leoville Las Cases, Potensac is a consistent and well made wine. The nose is restrained, but there’s no lack of fresh blackberry and blackcurrant fruit aromas. Mediumbodied, it’s lively and bright, with some good concentration and surprising finesse for the Medoc.
James Suckling: 92 pts; Decanter: 90 pts; Vinous: 90 pts; WA: 89 pts.
About
The estate’s Grand Vin’s vineyards are located west of Ordonnac village. Its rows of vines grow on a double thalweg of gravelly-clay. They produce a very fine wine with tight texture, great richness and wonderful freshness. On the palate, the wine is pure and powerful, the tannins dense and spicy, and the finish of great depth with glorious aromas.
The 2015 Potensac is a blend of 45% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Cabernet Franc that was cropped at 50 hl/ha, and raised in one-third new oak. There is a sense of airiness on the nose: small dark cherries, creme de cassis and crushed strawberry, pretty and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannin, fresh and citrus in style,
