Château Potensac 2025 - France - En Primeur
Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Owned by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases, Château Potensac is widely regarded as one of the leading estates in the Médoc appellation. Known for its consistency, value, and classic Left Bank character, the 2025 vintage delivers impressive structure, freshness, and Cabernet-driven precision.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a concentrated core of dark fruit. The style is classic and balanced, showing both immediate appeal and the structure for medium-term ageing. The finish is long, savoury, and distinctly Médocain.
