Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chapelle de Potensac has a lightly tobacco-scented bouquet of blackberry and a touch of bell pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin. Rather rustic and, to be honest, just too simple toward the finish. Drink over the next two or three years.

An attractive nose with red fruit and an array of red flowers that lead to a palate that has red fruit at its core and a fresh, attractive set of polished, vibrant tannins. Fresh finish. This has ripeness and verve. A blend of 75 per cent merlot, 17 per cent cabernet sauvignon and eight per cent cabernet franc. Second wine of Château Potensac. Exceptional value. Try from 2022.
The 2016 Chapelle de Potensac is an absolutely gorgeous second wine from Jean-Hubert Delon's Potensac estate. Fresh, perfumed and beautifully lifted in the glass, the Chapelle is flat-out delicious. Floral notes add freshness to a core of sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and spice flavors. Delon's entire portfolio is impressive in 2016, but the wines from Potensac are especially of note. Tasted two times.
The 2016 Chapelle de Potensac is blended of 75% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up gorgeous black plums, mulberries and black cherries with hints of cinnamon stick and rose hip tea. The palate is medium-bodied, fine, refreshing and elegant with soft tannins and plenty of juicy fruit.
