Château Potensac Cru Bourgeois Medoc 2021

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte rotbeerige Nuancen, ein Hauch von Kirschen, Rote Johannisbeeren, kandierte Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, mineralisch, straff, präsente Tannine, etwas trocken im Abgang, salziger Nachhall."
90/100 Punkte

"A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and an unusually high 23% Cabernet France, the 2021 Potensac offers up attractive aromas of cassis, loamy soil, wilted rose petals and pipe tobacco. Medium-bodied, supple and lively, with ripe, powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's a charming, perfumed rendition of this Médoc estate. Tasted three times."

"The 2021 Potensac is beguiling. Perhaps it is the high amount of Cabernet Franc (23%) in the blend this year. The 2021 exudes refinement from the very first taste. Rose petal, spice, crushed red berry fruit and sweet pipe tobacco all open effortlessly. Readers will find a Haut-Médoc endowed with compelling aromatic presence and exceptional balance. The purity of the flavors is striking." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Potensac was picked September 29 through October 13 and contains the highest-ever percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%). Aged in 20% new oak, it has a light blackberry and raspberry nose with touches of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied, though clearly lighter and airier than recent vintages, and displays slight attenuation on the finish. Two bottles tasted, the second at the château showing slightly better. (13.10% alcohol)" von NEAL MARTIN

"20% neue Barriques für die Reifung von Potensac 2021. Eine gute Wahl, die durch den fruchtigen Charakter des Bouquets bestätigt wird. Am Gaumen wird die Frische durch eine angenehme Spannung hervorgehoben, während die samtenen Tannine ein schönes Fundament bilden. Ein vollmundiger, recht muskulöser aber auch finessenreicher Potensac."
