Produced by the Léoville Lascases team in the Northern Médoc near to Sociando Mallet, above St Estèphe. the vineyard is 53 hectares. The second wine - La Chapelle de Potensac - is no longer produced.
Yield 35 hl/ha, 15% new oak. 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc.
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.
Mid ruby colour. Tobacco and mint line the nose, together with light red fruits. Measured red fruit props up the palate on entry, the tannins chalky and a little astringent. This has savoury, herbal tones of sage and rosemary with a touch of camphor oil. The palate finishes with the bite of tannins, bright acidity and juicy red fruit.
