With remarkable consistency, Potensac has been one of the most regular crus bourgeois in the northern Médoc for 30 years, proof of the know-how of the Léoville-Las Cases team (same owner). Its ability to age is always surprising, even and especially in the "early years".
Rated 93/100 by La Revue du Vin de France «Cette propriété de Jean-Hubert Delon (Léoville Las Cases, Saint-Julien) bénéficie de toute son attention et du savoir-faire de ses équipes.[...] 2019 et 2020 sont spectaculaires, offrant raffinement et soyeux des tanins, avec une finale très juteuse.» (December 2022)
Rated 91/100 by N. MARTIN «The palate is nicely balanced with fine tannins, crisp acidity, just a touch of licorice infusing the mixture of red and black fruit, a welcome tarriness imparting some classic Claret notes on the finish. A fine Potensac.» (December 2022)

Clos du Marquis is no longer the second wine of Léoville-Las Cases, but a wine in its own right produced on the parcels adjoining Léoville-Poyferré and Lagrange. In any case, his exemplary consistency for more than 30 years now commands respect.
Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « This has lost the "rondeur" that it exhibited out of barrel, revealing a more streamlined, sappy Saint-Julien with a welcome pinch of spice towards the classically-lined finish. Drink over the next 15 years, possibly more. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 93/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Clos du Marquis is dark, pliant and inviting. [...] Plush fruit and silky contours add to the wine's considerable appeal. Best of all, the 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is such a beautiful and expressive wine. » (March 2020)

Intended for very long ageing in the cellar (at least 10 years even in small vintages), the wines of Léoville-Las Cases represent in each vintage one of the most perfect and purest expressions of the Médoc vineyard. As Wine Advocate has written, "Léoville-Las Cases looks more and more like Lafite rather than its close neighbour Latour".

Rated 18/20 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Moelleux et large en entrée de bouche, juteux et fondant au milieu, puissant, avec des saveurs de fruits, de fleurs, mais aussi crémeux » (Jan. 2018).

Nénin is like Léoville-Las Cases (same owners): a great wine, straight, tight, with a lot of length and always excellent ageing potential. In great shape in the last vintages, as Bettane&Desseauve underlines for its 2017 "In constant progress for its structural and aromatic precision, it is now in the court of the greatest".
The 2020 vintage is rated 96.5/100 by Le Figaro Vin "An incredible Nénin [...] that exudes an absolutely stunning array of aromas."

Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Nénin is super-expressive and energetic, with tons of Franc character driving its profile. [...] Although a bit eccentric, Nénin is wonderfully nuanced and alluring in 2017 ». (Mars 2020)
Rated 92/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Droit et long, élancé, il fait encore montre d'une légère rigidité qui en un an s'est toutefois assouplie. l'éclat de son fruit croquant est indéniable ». (Nov. 2021)
