Description

The Grand Vin du Château Potensac stands forward with aplomb, with a masterful concentration, mineral tension and freshness of ripe black fruits. Certainly one of the most persistent ever produced at this stage. This Château, considered to be one of the most important of the Medoc appellation area owing to its distinctive characteristics and the great age of its vines, belongs, as do Léoville Las Cases and Nenin, to the Delon family who has been here for two hundred and fifty years. The estate has been in the same family since time immemorial and has always been handed down by women. The current owner, Jean-Hubert Delon, inherited the estate from his paternal grandmother, Georgette Liquard. Although close to the river, Potensac is situated on a high point of land in North Medoc. Because of this position, the site has been populated since ancient times. The name Medoc in fact comes from medio aquae which means in the middle of the waters. 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. Château Potensac is often considered to represent the pure Medoc style.
