Château Potensac 2012 is a Médoc blend of 48% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc managed by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases. The 2012 vintage favored the Merlot components on the cooler clay soils of Ordonnac and it was aged in 30% new oak displaying a savoury profile of cedar and tobacco. The wine maintains a classic and somewhat austere structural finish which is characteristic of the northern Médoc and it provides an excellent example of the balance achieved during this transitionary vintage.
