Tasting
Colour: Deep garnet with purple highlights, heralding good concentration.
Nose: Open, rich, dominated by black fruit, with hints of liquorice, sweet spices, noble wood and light tobacco.
Palate: Supple, full attack. Ripe, well-integrated tannins. Good mid-palate tension, with a lingering finish of graphite, incense and ripe black fruit. A serious but elegant structure, faithful to the gravelly terroir of Saint-Estèphe.
Food and wine pairings
Ideal with entrecôte à la bordelaise, rack of lamb in a crust, roast duck breast, or mature cheeses such as comté or vieux salers.

This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
Château Potensac 2009, Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, balanced, black fruits, soft tannins, long finish, drinkable until 2025. Perfect with meats and cheeses.
The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a crisp line of acidity, subtle notes of cedar with a composed, structured finish with plenty of freshness and vigor.
Sublime and dignified, velvety, full-bodied and round, elegant finish, aromas of leather, cherry, truffle, exceptional.
Very black coffee on the nose. The wine is dense and quite tannic, with an unusual roundness from Merlot. A chameleon-like wine.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, plums, pencil shavings, petals, burning embers and discreet hints of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered.
Autumnal notes, medium-bodied on the palate, firm tannins.
