Chateau Potensac 2009

This wine from the Medoc appellation comes from the 2009 vintage, an exceptional year in Bordeaux. The Potensac 2009 has everything to delight the nose and the palate of a great wine lover. A frank mouth with length, elegance and finesse. The nose is of a beautiful aromatic complexity. This is a classic from the Domaines Delon that also has the legendary Second Classified Growth of 1855, the Chateau Leoville Las Cases. The Chateau Potensac can be drunk until 2023.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
This fairly priced Medoc from Jean-Hubert Delon (the proprietor of Leoville-Las-Cases) has hit almost 14% natural alcohol and looks to be the best wine made at this estate since 1982, which drank well for 15 years and cost about $4.00 a bottle in that era. Crisp, mineral notes intermixed with mulberry, black cherry and black currant fruit jump from the glass of this classic Bordeaux, which is both powerful and elegant. There is considerable substance to the wine, with its attractive texture and overall sense of precision and elegance. This is a sleeper of the vintage not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: now-2022.
