    Château Potensac belongs to the Delon family for a very long time and has always been passed down from generation to generation. 

    La Chapelle de Potensac was created and released by Jean-Hubert Delon in 2002.

    The Chapel reproduced on the bottle's packaging stands in the centre of the hamlet. It is characterized by the absence of its neo-Gothic bell tower.

    Blend: 75% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc

    Average age of the vines:25 years old 

    AOC: Medoc

    Tasting notes & score:

    • James Suckling- 90-91/100 
    "An attractive nose with red fruit and an array of red flowers that lead to a palate that has red fruit at its core and a fresh, attractive set of polished, vibrant tannins. Fresh finish. This has ripeness and verve... Exceptional value."
    • Jancis Robinson-16.5/20
    "Round and winning and early maturing. Charming."
    • Decanter-87/100
    "Located just north of St-Estèphe on clay, gravel and limestone soils. Beautifully fragrant in the mouth, this has an effortless quality to it. A very pretty wine with fine tannins. Gentle red fruits and 10% new oak make this a great choice for early drinking. "

      2016 was an exceptional year with good aging potential. The absolutely perfect weather conditions during harvest time allowed us to pick grapes boasting remarkable quality.
