What defines Château Potensac 2009 is its combination of maturity and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the wine with backbone and minerality, while Merlot and Cabernet Franc bring roundness and aromatic nuance. With time, the wine has evolved into a harmonious, layered expression of northern Médoc terroir — offering complexity without heaviness and authority without force. It is a wine for Bordeaux purists and collectors who value restraint, evolution and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with softened edges. The nose is layered and mature, revealing blackcurrant, dried plum, cedarwood, tobacco leaf and graphite, with subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is structured yet supple, cassis, savoury spice and mineral notes unfold across resolved tannins. The finish is long, dry and elegant, marked by freshness and quiet power.
Food Pairing
This mature Médoc pairs beautifully with dishes that echo depth and savoury richness. It shines alongside roast beef, lamb shoulder, duck, venison or slow-braised meats, while its evolved tannins also complement mushroom-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. A wine that rewards unhurried, thoughtful dining.
Description
Château Potensac is one of the Médoc’s most respected cru bourgeois benchmarks, long associated with precision, structure and aging potential. The 2009 vintage, one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated years brought exceptional ripeness and balance, allowing Potensac to produce a wine of depth without excess.
With over a decade of bottle age, this wine now sits in a beautiful drinking window, offering tertiary complexity while retaining freshness and backbone. It is classical Médoc in spirit — confident, composed and deeply satisfying.
