Rouge grenat clair. Bouquet de bonne intensité marqué par la fraîcheur avec des notes de cerises et d’eucalyptus. En bouche le vin est juteux, rafraîchissant et équilibré. Un vin de caractère à savourer dans sa jeunesse. 2021-2025

The second wine of Château Potensac and a blend of mostly Merlot (21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc), the 2017 Chapelle de Potensac offers a vibrant ruby color as well as a fruity, plums, silky style. It's already delicious and geared for early drinking

Fin, fruité et équilibré, avec un tanin extrait avec justesse, il se présente comme un vin souple et gourmand, d’agréable facture.

The 2017 Chapelle de Potensac is an attractive second wine from Hubert Delon's Médoc property. Soft, silky and open-knit, the 2017 is quite pretty, but its light to medium-bodied structure suggests it is best enjoyed over the near term. The red berry and floral notes are nicely delineated throughout.

The 2017 Chapelle de Potensac has a bouquet with more red than black fruit, cranberry and raspberry aromas laced with cedar. The palate is well balanced, simple with slightly chalky tannin, fine acidity with a short, easygoing finish. Fine.

This is bright, round and approachable. The fruits are on the fresher end of the scale, but with some real definition. This has been made with early drinking in mind, with 50% aged in barrels (just 2% new oak) and 50% in stainless steel to help retain the fruit. There was some frost here but it was minimal, as the main parts of the vineyards occupy two high outcrops, so the yield was a healthy 50hl/ha.

This Merlot-dominated wine is soft with easy fruit, gentle tannins and a fine, juicy backdrop of black currant flavors. It is lively and fruity, with great acidity and a light structure. It will be ready for drinking early.

A fresh and clean second wine with currant and spice character. Medium body and a firm finish. Pretty.
