Item Description
The practice of establishing a "second wine" began in the 18th century as way for Bordeaux winemakers to be more selective of the wine going into their estate label. The goal was to increase the quality of the "Grand Vin" (i.e. VGS) and also create a very good second wine, which can typically be enjoyed, younger and costs less. Potelle Two, the second wine of Potelle, was born from this tradition. In the mouth the wine has a nice structure, the weight is good, it sits well, it is round and ample but it also presents a nice suppleness that balances the structure and ensures earlier drinkability. The finish is very long.
Case is to be picked up at FACCSF offices in San Francisco. It will not be shipped.
