The Château Potensac is an iconic wine estate located in the Médoc region of Bordeaux.
This magnificent estate has a rich history, a deep family tradition and an exceptional Domaine that make it a major player in the Médoc appellation and the French wine industry as a whole.
The history of Château dates back to the 18th century, when the Delon family acquired the property in 1750. Since then, the Delon family has played a key role in the preservation and development of this Domaine winery. Specifically, family member Jean-Hubert Delon has managed the estate and been the driving force behind its rise to world renown. His commitment to quality and winemaking tradition is deeply rooted in the history of the Delon family and Château.

The palate is slender, structured by firm but integrated tannins, with a taut, almost chalky finish.
Without seeking demonstration, Potensac 2024 expresses a measured elegance, carried by the depth of old vines and the precision of discreet ageing. A racy, terroir-driven wine with obvious ageing potential.
Harvest date: September 28 to October 7, 2024
