Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Potensac is a reliable, well-priced Médoc red from the Delon family, the same team behind Léoville-Las-Cases, and it shows a similar structured, savory style at a more approachable level. Expect firm tannins, brisk acidity and a core of blackcurrant and cherry fruit wrapped in cedar, tobacco and gravelly minerality. It is built for the table and rewards a few years in the cellar, though it can be enjoyed with decanting when young.
