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

- Wine Advocate: 90/100

- Vinous: 89/100

- James Suckling: 90/100

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.
