This estate is always reliable, but I was taken aback by just how good the 2025 Potensac is. A blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot, from vines averaging over 60 years of age, it offers up aromas of dark berries, crème de cassis and iris, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate with excellent density, high-quality tannins and a long, perfumed finish. The 2025 may well be the best wine ever produced at this estate.

91-93/100 Neal Martin

The 2025 Potensac was cropped at 28 hl/ha between September 12 and 22. Matured in 20% new oak barrels, this has quite a flamboyant bouquet with layers of black cherry, blueberry and violet, almost Margaux-like in style, with a touch of pencil shavings underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins on the entry, quite powerful, a little sapid, good density and a muscular finish that should be tempered during its élevage plus bottle age. Long-term Potensac. Drink 2030-2050.

88-90/100 Thomas Parker MW

Mid ruby colour. Fresh red currants, plums and blackcurrant leaf on the nose. The palate is edgy with acidity and slightly austere in structure with pithy, crunchy tannins. A midweight and compact wine, it will need to flesh out in elevage to reach its full potential. Bright and zesty on the finish.

94-95/100 James Suckling

The polish and integration of fruit and tannins are very impressive, with a caressing texture and a fruity finish. Its balanced and transparent. Brightness shines through.

91-93/100 Antonio Galloni

The 2025 Potensac has a lot to offer. Dark and savory, the 2025 presents an attractive mélange of strong savory/earthy inflections and dark-fleshed fruit. A burst of floral notes punctuates the finish. The 2025 will need a few years in bottle, but it has quite a bit of potential. 2031 - 2043.
