It's a blend of 63% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Readers who remember how this estate acquitted itself in years such as 2003 and 1990 will not be surprised by its quality in 2022. Rating: 92-94 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Apr 2023)

Always a wine with a saline twist, and it somehow seems even more heightened in 2022, contrasting with richly textured sinewy tannins and sweet bilberry fruits, edges of tomato leaf and soy, a freshness that I have not found in many wines. Distinctive, edge of austerity right now, mouthwatering finish, thoroughly worth seeking out, great stuff from Stephane Dief. Harvest September 21. TIny quantities though - the whole production will be aged in one new oak barrel and two glass Wine Globes for 12 months, then after blending moved into an earthenware jarre for a further eight months.

At once crisp and pert with good crunch of red-flecked fruit, then deeper waves of juicy plum and sweeter cherry flesh. They have some limestone here, and this has certainly helped them highlight the cool brightness in the juice. Long, firm and charming. A potent Potensac but so well judged.L&S (Apr 2023)

The fruit feels energetic and crisp, with cedar and graphite notes emerging toward the finish. I suspect this will mature into a fine Haut-Médoc and is a strong bounce back after the 2021.
