Château Potensac
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… Planted on the best quality soils in the Ordonnac district the vineyards now extend over 84 hectares on a terroir where the typical characteristics of each grape variety express themselves very distinctly and give the wine superb ageing potential
Description
Tobacco, earth, forest floor and hints of blackberry make up the perfume. The finish is all about the fresh cassis. Still tannic, time will help soften the dusty texture and add more complexity to this classic styled wine.
Food Pairing
The wine of Chateau Potensac is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes.
