Powerful yet beautifully balanced, it delivers refined tannins, vibrant freshness, impressive depth, and a long, elegant finish with excellent aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, beef bourguignon, duck confit, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, braised short ribs, or roasted root vegetables.
Decanter
A year-in, year-out winner, the 2020 Château Potensac is another beauty that has the vintage's fresh, focused style as well as classic red and black currant/cherry fruits, some damp earth and underbrush nuances, medium body, nicely integrated acidity and oak, and outstanding length.
James Suckling
Subtle sweet spices with red berries, strawberries and cherries. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins and a long, tight finish. 75% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Potensac is composed of 44% Merlot, 33% Cabernet A powerful, rather rich vintage for this estate, the 2020 Potensac offers up aromas of cassis, vine smoke and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant palate. Framed by powdery tannins and lively acids, it's built to age with grace.
Wine Spectator
Reserved in style, this moves steadily and methodically along, with a textbook core of cassis and bitter cherry notes laced with light anise, wet stone and iron. Shows good mouthwatering cut on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
