87-89/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Rocks up with open-knit scents of crushed cranberries, red cherries, and fragrant soil, followed by hints of dried herbs and graphite. The light-bodied palate is crisp and sprightly, delivering sour cherry and herbal flavors with lightly chewy tannins, finishing with a lively lift.

86-88/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 Potensac was tasted twice. The first time, it came across a little green. The second tasting, at the château, was far better, with red berry fruit, incense and a touch of pencil box in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, balanced with just a slight attenuation towards the finish. Give this two or three years in bottle.

86/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Dark ruby colour, the aromatics capture the bright fruit and floral nature of the vintage, but once again the acidity is high, which throws things off balance. It's got pep and vivacity, with chalky tannins. 15% new oak for ageing, pH 3.68. ITP 74, Yield 35 hl/ha. Press wine 12.2%. Domaines Delon.

88-90/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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.
