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". Château Potensac is often considered to represent the "pure Medoc style". 

Grape Blend:  40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.

This is a very pretty, almost feminine Potensac this year. It is immediately accessible with juicy fruit flavours in the nose, good acidity and persistence of plums, sloes, and figs.

There is a tautness on the palate with good elegant tannins and precise concentration mid-palate. A lovely Médoc for early drinking.
