The 14 first cousins who co-own Château de Sales, their family, as well as the members of the team wish you a Happy New Year 2023!
The harvest took place from 7 to 21 September. Time now to make the wine!
A deep, intense colour, lovely freshness, power and concentration: this vintage has it.
Many thanks to all our pickers for their hard work and high spirits!
There are fewer and fewer family estates, yet the largest vineyard in Pomerol has belonged to the same family for nearly five centuries.
Here is a souvenir of the family gathering held last month, at which 38 cousins under the age of 35 came from all over France to meet up at Château de Sales.
With beautifully complex aromas and flavours, Château de Sales has outstanding purity of fruit, a full-bodied texture and an elegant freshness.
On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance between smoothness and succulence, underpinned by fine, delicate tannins.
Thank you everyone for this lovely vintage!
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.
