Ideal with fine meats and earthy flavours. Excellent with rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic or veal fillet with morel sauce; also goes well with mushroom risotto or glazed aubergines.
Château de Sales has been in the family since the 16th century and is now the largest winery in Pomerol. The elegant 17th-century country estate and 47.6 hectares of vines form the setting for a tradition that has been cultivated for generations – with a clear focus on origin, continuity and drinking pleasure.
Deep purple. Fresh red and dark fruit (cherry, blackberry) on the nose, accompanied by violets, fine spices and a subtle wood note. Creamy texture on the palate, juicy freshness and silky integrated tannins; opulent yet balanced, with a long, aromatic and spicy finish.
Hand-picked by plot, gentle extraction and temperature-controlled fermentation. Aged for approx. 12 months in French oak (typically 15–20% new; around 18% new in 2022), followed by fine tuning before bottling.
