A Terroir Synonymous with Longevity

Located on the elevated slopes of Ordonnac, north of Saint-Estèphe, Potensac benefits from a distinctive terroir of clay-gravel hilltops resting on a limestone subsoil, a particularly rare feature in this part of the Médoc. This geological combination promotes drainage, concentration, and natural freshness. The vineyard’s relative altitude also allows it to capture the tempering influences of the Gironde estuary to the east and Atlantic Ocean to the west, bringing beneficial freshness and balance to the wines in warm vintages. The old Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines, some more than 100 years old, thrive in ideal conditions here to produce well-structured, profound wines with excellent ageing potential.
