Chateau de Sales Pomerol 2020

Chateau de Sales is the first wine of the estate and embodies the complexity and refinement of its terroir. A wine made to be aged it is majority Merlot.

A beautiful glittering crimson, the wine has a complex and seductive nose on aromas of black fruit, especially black cherry, violet and vanilla. Richly flavoured and remarkably well-balanced, it opens with notes of black fruit and subtle spice which fill out on an ample and complex mid-palate sustained by the caress of refined, silky tannins, leading into a long and elegant finish.

79 % Merlot
14 % Cabernet Sauvignon
7 % Cabernet Franc

Robert Parker says:

"An attractive, elegantly fruit-driven Pomerol, the 2020 De Sales offers up aromas of sweet berries, dried herbs and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless palate. With a core of vibrant fruit and melting tannins, this is a success for this large estate, where Jean-Claude Berrouet consults."
