Marks and reviews

/20

Vinum

A juicy, easy-drinking, classic Pomerol with a medium body, which will be enjoyable even when young.

Jeff Leve

Leve Jeff

Medium-bodied, light, bright, red berry-filled wine that is close to mature. This will be best over the next few years. Drink from 2023-2029.

René Gabriel

Brightening garnet with medium density, fine rim. Open bouquet, red plums, slightly dusty on the attack. On the palate, certainly quite refined, but with a hint of artisanal cellar character.

André Kunz

Spicy, peppery, mineral bouquet with blueberries, black cherries, lemon balm and chocolate. Medium-bodied, silky palate with medium fruit, fine tannins, a rather slender structure, a sweet aromatic profile and a refined finish. Can still improve. 16/20 2019 - 2030

Vertdevin

The nose is fairly refined and elegant. It reveals notes of blackberry, plum and delicate nuances of crushed blackcurrant, alongside hints of chocolate, a touch of crushed raspberry and subtle spicy notes (cardamom, black pepper). The palate is fruity and balanced, offering a delicate freshness as well as a mineral framework (distinctive minerality). On the palate, this wine shows notes of blackberry and plum, with fine hints of cherry and raspberry, joined by touches of liquorice and toasted oak. The tannins are well managed and just slightly youthful. Good length.

Description

A gourmet and charming Pomerol wine

The estate

Located to the northwest of Pomerol, Chateau de Sales is a historic estate on the right bank of Bordeaux and has been owned by the same family for over five centuries. Today, the Lambert heirs and their children perpetuate the legacy of this iconic estate that produces fine Pomerol wines.

The vineyard

Comprising 47.60 hectares of vines, Chateau de Sales’ vineyard is the largest in the Pomerol appellation.

The vintage

Flowering began at the end of May and took place quickly and evenly in a hot, dry climate. Alternating rainfall and thunderstorms with hot spells in July enabled the vines to grow actively. From the end of August onwards, the sunny conditions as well as the temperature variations between day and night were ideal and allowed the grapes to reach a good ripeness level. The harvest took place from September 24th to October 10th.

Vinification and aging

The wine is aged in new barrels (5%) and in 1 to 3-year old barrels (95%).

The blend

Merlot (74%)

Cabernet Sauvignon (20%)

Cabernet Franc (6%).
