Owned by the Delon family (of Léoville Las Cases fame), Château Potensac has long been known as a Left Bank insider’s pick—serious terroir, traditional winemaking, and the ability to age gracefully.
The 2012 vintage was cooler and more restrained than its blockbuster neighbors, making it ideal for classicists who value balance over power. Now with 13 years of age, the wine shows earthy complexity: cedar, graphite, and dried blackcurrant wrapped in savory spice. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and the kind of freshness that keeps mature Bordeaux alive at the table. It’s not showy, but that’s the point—this is Médoc built on structure, not flash.
Perfect for roast lamb, mushroom dishes, or a quiet decant on a cool night. For Left Bank fans who want provenance and polish without chasing classified growths, Potensac 2012 is drinking beautifully right now—with more years still in the tank.
Pre-sale, wine should be in stock by November 10th.
