Characteristics of wine

The Estate

A true emblem of the Médoc vineyards, Château Potensac is located in the northern Médoc region in the commune of Ordonnac and has belonged to the same family since time immemorial. Passed down from generation to generation, it is now owned by Jean-Hubert DELON, who inherited it from his grandmother. The Delon family owns other estates in the Bordeaux region, such as Château Léoville-Las-Cases, a Second Growth in the Saint-Julien appellation, and Château Nénin in the Pomerol appellation.

The terroir

The Château Potensac vines benefit from an exceptional terroir and extend over approximately 70 hectares on mounds with a limestone subsoil covered with gravelly outcrops. This terroir is relatively similar to that of the Saint-Estèphe appellation.

The grape variety

Merlot is the main grape variety at Château Potensac. It produces exclusively full-bodied red wines that are suitable for aging. Cabernet Sauvignon brings suppleness and elegance. Cabernet Franc offers fine tannins and subtle aromas. This blend gives the wine complexity and a bouquet of aromas.

The wine

Château Potensac, produced by the Delon family, is a very fine wine, rich and extraordinarily fresh. With its warm garnet color, this Médoc, with its dense, spicy tannins, is a worthy representative of the "pure Médoc style." This small bottle of Château Potensac is perfect with roasted duck breast, lamb, or veal paupiettes.
