We are delighted to share with you the most recent score awarded to Château de Sales by Decanter magazine in its January 2022 issue after a panel tasting of recently bottled 2019 wines organised by Georgina Hindle.
96/100
What a fantastic score, rewarding the pursuit of precision begun a few years ago in the vineyard, the vat-house and the barrel hall.
We are proud to have contributed to the success of the X-Wine Contest that took place on 5 February at Château-Figeac on the initiative of the École Polytechnique wine club.
Once a year, this tasting contest brings together fifteen wine clubs from prestigious French and international schools and universities.
Congratulations to the students of AgroParisTech who won this contest, closely followed by Cambridge and Oxford.

Leaf removal on the afternoon-sun side of the vine involves stripping off all or some of the leaves in the cluster zone.
The aim of the operation is to improve air circulation in the clusters. It also encourages better phenolic maturity (tannins) and reduces the risk of disease.
Generally performed in late August, it completes the work carried out when lateral shoots were removed in the early summer.
Many thanks Cédric Mauguet (Vineyard team manager – Château de Sales)!
Once shoots have been thinned, the trellis has been raised and the vines have been trimmed, summer starts with the removal of lateral shoots. These secondary shoots grow between the leaf and the main shoot in front of the clusters, on the side of the rising sun. Removing them ensures that air can circulate in the vines, helps the grapes to ripen and limits the risk of disease.
Many thanks Frédéric Laborde (Technical Director – Château de Sales)!
