"…schöne kirschige Frucht, kräftige Säure und etwas trockene Tannine, schlanke Mitte, ordentliche Balance, nicht groß, feine Süße, etwas extrahiert, etwas Campari-Bitterness im Finish." (04/2025)


Technical Sheet


Decanter: 91 Punkte

"Cabernet heavy aromas on the nose - blackcurrant leaf, cherries and plums with some wild strawberry touches. Tannins are prominent but they melt into the sides underpinned by chalky, liquorice-edges putting the minerality at the fore also. Salty, graphite, pencil lead and cool blueberries. This has structure and sinewy muscle but keeps a focused frame. I like this, it’s stylish with plenty of personality and enough frame to be filling. Really good. Second vintage with so much Cabernet. 60 year old average age of the vines. Ageing 15% new barrels for 12 months. 12.2% press. 3.68pH." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)


Jane Anson: 89 Punkte

"Sappy acidities, bright and vivid red fruits but a touch leafy, which brings things to a close more swiftly than the past excellent few vintages at this property. 15% new oak. 3.68 pH. 35 hl/ha. 12.2% press wine. Harvest 27 September to 2 October Mikaël Georges technical director, 35hl/h yield. This is the lowest amount of Merlot to date in this wine, a reflection of the reworked vineyard. There is still a 2nd wine at Potensac, but sold in bottle only." (04/2025)


Falstaff: 92 Punkte 

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Zwetschken, ein Hauch von Brombeerkonfit, dezente Kräuterwürze ist unterlegt. Saftige Kirschfrucht, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch, feine Süße im Abgang, salzig, bereits gut antrinkbar." - Peter Moser (04/2025)


Vinum: 90 Punkte 

"Kühler, steiniger Duft, dunkle Beeren; am Gaumen elegant, zeigt Finesse und Schliff, die Gerbstoffe sind von sehr guter Qualität, das hat Trinkfluss und eine gute Länge, endet mit einer angenehmen Herbe." (04/2025)


Yves Beck: 93-94 Punkte 

"Was für eine Energie und Frische im Bouquet des Potensac! Die kreidigen Nuancen gehen Hand in Hand mit intensiven Noten von schwarzen Beeren und Minze. Der salzige Auftakt vereint Kraft und Temperament. Mit seiner ausgezeichneten Definition besticht er durch seine Energie und seine prägnante Struktur. Wieder einmal ein großer Wein von Potensac! Ein absolutes Muss. Er hat Kraft, aber auch Fülle und Länge." (04/2025)


The Drinks Business: 88-90 Punkte 

"Lovely dark plum and bramble fruits. Crunchy, pure and nicely focussed. A lovely mouthfeel and I really like the shapely flow of the wine over the palate. Grippy tannins form and mould (rather than sculpt) the lifted finish. There’s just a hint of dryness on the finish (note the IPT at 74) but this is very well done. In the context of the vintage there’s a lot of wine here for the money." - Colin Hay (04/2025)

The 2024 Potensac is laced with hints of cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and leather. The 2024 shows good aromatic presence and fine depth, especially for the year. Clean saline notes extend the finish. As is so often the case, Potensac is an under-the-radar gem.

A scented, mineral nose, showing red berries and cherries. Lighter this year on the medium-bodied palate, this has firm tannins tightly wound into the less intense red fruit. Quite juicy and refined. Elegant. Likely to be a very well-balanced and drinkable wine.

The 2024 Château Potensac is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, resting in just 15% new barrels. Ripe red and blue fruits, graphite, crushed stone, and some subtle tobacco and herbal notes all give this a classic Cabernet feel, and it's medium-bodied, with a juicy, elegant mouthfeel, present tannins, and a good finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Rocks up with open-knit scents of crushed cranberries, red cherries, and fragrant soil, followed by hints of dried herbs and graphite. The light-bodied palate is crisp and sprightly, delivering sour cherry and herbal flavors with lightly chewy tannins, finishing with a lively lift. (05/2025)

A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 33% Merlot, the 2024 Potensac exhibits notes of cherries, cassis and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate with good density and sweetness of tannin. It will, however, require some patience.
