Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2006]

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Potensac has a conservative bouquet, yet one that is nicely detailed with cedar-infused red berry fruit that has a pleasing brightness. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannin, well-judged acidity and yet it would have benefit from more flesh towards the finish, which tapers in slightly. Tasted January 2016.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2009]

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Potensac features warm redcurrants, black raspberries, dusty earth and dried Mediterranean herbs scents with a touch of cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and plush with nice freshness, it is sitting in a drinking window sweet-spot right now.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2010]

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Potensac features notes of baked red and black cherries, mulberries and leather with wafts of dried herbs and charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a chewy texture and tons of freshness giving the red and black fruit a boost on the finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2015]

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, crème de cassis and crushed strawberry, pretty and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannin, fresh and citrus in style, just a touch of reduction towards the finish, but they will blow off by the time it is in bottle. I would have just preferred more persistence on the finish, but otherwise this is a decent Potensac.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2016]

Is the 2016 Potensac this estate's finest vintage to date? Certainly, its compelling bouquet of cassis and pencil shavings and it's seamless, beautifully balanced palate make a strong case. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish, this is built to age with style, yet it is also quite accessible at this early stage for a young Potensac.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [2018]

The 2018 Potensac is composed of 45% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14.42% alcohol and was aged in 35% new barriques. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it rolls out of the glass with open-knit scents of ripe, juicy black plums, boysenberries, redcurrant jelly and cassis, plus hints of dried Provence herbs, cinnamon stick and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of lively black and red berry layers, supported by soft tannins and a racy line, finishing with a lively skip in its step.

James Suckling [2016]

Suave aromas of cedar and fresh red flowers with a thread of ripe red berries and blackcurrants, mulberries, coal smoke and cool stones. The palate delivers a wealth of rich red-fruit flavors, framed in sleek tannins that build with precision and length. A class act. One of the best from here in the modern era. Try from 2023.

James Suckling [2018]

Fruity nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with sage and vanilla. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Savory and juicy with pleasant acidity. Compact and long. Racy. 45% merlot, 36% cabernet sauvignon,18% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2023.

AOC Médoc

Haut-Médoc

 

Château Potensac är en Bordeaux-producent i Médoc, som ägs av Jean-Hubert Delon. Traditionellt gick den vidare i den kvinnliga linjen tills nuvarande ägaren Jean-Hubert ärvde den från sin mormor, Georgette Liquard.
-
Slottet har fått sitt namn från Potensac-platån som det ligger på, i Ordonnac-distriktet i Médoc. Familjen Delon äger två andra Bordeaux-egendomar, Château Nénin i Pomerol och det prestigefyllda andra tillväxthuset Château Leoville-Las Cases i Saint-Julien.
-
Château Potensac producerar två viner, båda röda och båda gjorda av de vanliga röda Bordeaux-varianterna. De 84 hektaren (208 tunnland) mark är planterad till 46 procent Merlot, 35 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 procent Cabernet Franc, 2 procent Carménère och 1 procent Petit Verdot. Den genomsnittliga vinåldern är 38 år, med några så gamla som 80 år. Historiskt sett var Cabernet Sauvignon den dominerande druvan, men Merlot har tagit över på senare tid eftersom vinstilen går mot mer lättillgänglighet och tidigare drickande.
-
Vingårdarna har kalkstensunderlag med ytlera och en hög koncentration av grus. Flaggskeppsvinet är Château Potensac med samma namn. Det åtföljs av det mindre produktionen andra vinet Chapelle de Potensac, som först producerades i årgången 2002. Château Potensac var en av de nio producenter som tilldelades Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel-status i omklassificeringen 2003, den högsta möjliga beteckningen.
