Château Potensac 2016
Appellation: Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Classification: Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel
Ownership: Castéja family
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Vintage: 2016
Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, renowned for its balance and freshness, benefited from a hot, dry summer followed by a mild autumn. Château Potensac, located on a gravelly terroir typical of the Médoc, has produced a wine that combines elegance, structure and finesse, perfectly representative of this high-quality vintage.
Tasting
Colour: Deep ruby red with purple highlights.
Nose: Expressive and elegant. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit (cherry, blackcurrant), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), delicate floral and woody touches (vanilla, cedar).
Palate: Round, silky attack. Tannic structure is present but velvety. Well-balanced mid-palate, revealing pure fruit and well-integrated acidity. Long, harmonious finish with spicy, woody notes.
