72% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc
This is the second wine of Château Potensac, elaborated with the same care. Château Potensac has a long family history, passed down from generation to generation by the women of the family. Chapelle de Potensac was created and first sold by Jean-Hubert Delon with the 2002 vintage.
This elegant, traditionally made second wine possesses beautiful balance founded on smoothness and freshness. 2017 was an early but balanced vintage. The Merlots offer a soft tannic structure and expressive fruit. The Cabernet Francs are dense and complex. The Cabernet Sauvignons are powerful yet silky. The Chapelle 2017 is thus fresh and luscious, with supple tannins and a bright liveliness to enjoy sooner.
Its terroir of fine gravel and clay sands can be found in various parts of Potensac's historical terroir, on the edge of the village. The Chapel, reproduced on the bottle's packaging, stands in the center of the hamlet. It is characterized by the absence of its neo-Gothic bell tower.
