OUR WINES

Twenty hectares of vines are nurtured on the family estate using sustainable and regenerative agriculture for an annual production of 130,000 bottles. An authentic tribute to the great passionate founder of the wine estate, Jorgen Schmidt, who sadly parted in 2016, the wines of Château de Potiron exemplify the world-famous côtes-de-Bordeaux by their distinctive quality.

CUVEE EXCEPTIONNELLE


This handcrafted cuvée, vinified manually in new French oak barrels, carries the elegance of mellow wood flavours, a nose of red and black fruits with hints of toasted pepper. The entire vinification process takes place in the same barrel from fermentation to maturity. This integrated winemaking method (called "Vinification Intégrale" in French) preserves the grapes' aromatic potential. At first, barrels are filled with the grapes harvested and sorted on the estate. Once fermented, they are vertically pressed in large oak casks. The wine is then put back in the same barrels for a 24-month maturation to achieve an exceptional result!

CUVEE PASSION


Dedicated to the estate's founder, who passed away a few years ago, this cuvée is a genuine promise that the best is yet to come! This elegant wine of a beautiful garnet red on raspberry reflections offers a fine and subtly oaky bouquet. Your palate will appreciate both a brief cellaring as well as an immediate tasting of this fat, round cuvée with a well-balanced tannin structure that maintains the balance of the wine intact, reaching a subtle complexity.

CUVEE EXCELLENCE


This wine is rich in ripe fruit and deliciously woody aromas on the nose, with merlot making up 60% of the blend, alongside cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. It is firm, fleshy, full-bodied, and equally woody on the palate. This luscious cuvée will fully reveal itself after a few years of ageing.

A great masterpiece of Château de Potiron, this cuvée represents a large part of the estate's harvest. It is a lovely wine of both power and beauty. Its well-balanced, classic woody notes make it easy to drink and enjoy.

L'OR DE POTIRON


A beautiful marriage between texture and acidity, this expressive cuvée reveals itself through the aromas of mango, apricot, and white flowers. The subtle blend of sauvignon blanc, sauvignon gris and sémillon gives this dry white wine remarkable fruity and mineral touches.
