The property spans 70 hectares across the central Médoc, where the vines thrive on elevated plots of clay and gravel over a limestone foundation. This domain boasts a unique lineage, traditionally passed through the maternal line, and is currently under the stewardship of Jean-Hubert Delon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe 2018 growing season began with a cool, lingering winter that slowed early vine development, but gave way to a remarkably warm and dry summer. These ideal conditions, paired with cooling evening temperatures, allowed for perfect fruit maturation, resulting in a wine that is both opulent in body and vibrantly fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bordeaux\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Bordeaux Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56831406571864,"sku":"700047","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/chapelle-de-potensac-medoc-bordeaux-whelehans-wines-dublin-online-wineshop.jpg?v=1774439564","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/chapelle-de-potensac-2018","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
