Description

Château Potensac 2016

Appellation: Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Classification: Cru Bourgeois

Ownership: Miailhe family

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Vintage: 2016

Origin and background

The 2016 vintage, marked by a hot, dry summer followed by a cool autumn, enabled the grapes on the Médoc gravelly soils to ripen to perfection. Château Potensac, owned by the Miailhe family, produces a wine combining power and elegance, representative of the Médoc terroir.

Tasting

Colour: Deep ruby red with purple highlights.

Nose: Expressive and clean. Aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), sweet spices (liquorice, pepper), woody notes (cedar) and subtle floral touches.

Palate: Full, structured attack. Firm but well-integrated tannins. Well-balanced mid-palate, with good concentration of fruit and refreshing acidity. Lingering finish with spicy, woody notes.

Review

Suggested pairings

This wine is an ideal accompaniment to grilled red meats, stewed meat dishes and mature hard or blue-veined cheeses. Its tannic structure enables it to balance rich, flavoursome dishes.
