Château Potensac, located in the Médoc between the villages of Blaignan and Ordannac, has been in the Delon family — owners of Château Léoville-Las Cases — since 1870. Current proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon has run the estate since inheriting it from his grandmother, Georgette Liquard. The property is comprised of over 60 hectares of hilly vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in soils of clay and gravel over limestone (similar to Saint-Estèphe). Some of the estate's plots are over 80 years of age.

Château Potensac's Grand Vin — a blend of 47% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot — displays a brilliant ruby red color. This wine is highly aromatic with loads of dark cherry and currants infused with notes of cigar box, fresh-cut purple flowers and pencil shavings. The palate is lively and focused offering concentrated red berry flavors balanced by a vivacious acidity and firm tannins. This wine possesses a underlying crushed stone mineral streak that runs throughout, leading to an bright, elegant finish. A perfect companion for an expertly-grilled steak: try a well-marbled ribeye or porterhouse with sides of double-fried frites and sautéed greens.

Lots of black cherries, currants, ripe tobacco, and cedar notes emerge from the 2019 Château Potensac, a medium-bodied, concentrated, beautifully pure, elegant Médoc that's well worth seeking out. It's going to continue to drink nicely for 10-15 years.

The 2019 Potensac is fabulous. Bright and focused, the 2019 impresses with its energy, balance and total class. Crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon, crushed rocks and blood orange all open in the glass. The 2019 is class personified I love the purity here. The 2019 is a standout, and should be a terrific value, too.

Fresh and pure, with cassis and cherry puree notes streaming through, carried by light iron and floral accents through the unadorned finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030.
