Chapelle De Potensac 2016

Located just north of St-Estèphe on clay, gravel and limestone soils. Beautifully fragrant in the mouth, this has an effortless quality to it. A very pretty wine with fine tannins, even with 75% Merlot, fleshed out with 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. Gentle red fruits and 10% new oak make this a great choice for early drinking.
