The Story Behind the Bottle
Château Potensac lies in the far northern Médoc, just outside the village of the same name and about two miles east of Lesparre. The Potensac estate has really come into its own since the 1970s, when the Delon family (owners of the renowned Château Léoville Las Cases in Saint-Julien) took over its management. This wine is fermented in a mixture of temperature controlled tanks and open fermenters, then matured in oak barrels for 12 to 16 months to allow its rich fruit flavours to integrate, taking on complex notes of coffee and tobacco. Decant this young wine a couple of hours before serving to release more of its aromas and rich flavours. Enjoy with roast lamb or beef or with game such as roast venison, pheasant or partridge.
