Château de Sales (Pomerol)
On the bright red fruit side of the style range, so you encounter more red plums, strawberries, and raspberries here. The wine is soft and refined and delivers elegance over power, finishing with vibrancy, freshness, and a silky touch to the finish. This is a contender for the best vintage of de Sales ever produced. Drink from 2025-2038. 848 Views Tasted Mar 1, 2025 |

Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Medium-bodied, soft, forward, fresh and spicy, with a core of sweet, red pit fruits, spice, lift and dusty tannins, with a touch of cocoa and leafy herbs that come in along with the endnote.

2019
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
With a solid core of cocoa infused, plums, flowers and wet earth, there is a nice vibrancy, freshness and silky touch to all the sweet, ripe red fruits. Elegant, refined, earthy and with a cool, truffle and herb accent on the nose, this is already nice and promises to be even better with a few years of age. Things have really been on the upswing here lately as the wines have really stepped up in quality lately starting with the 2018 vintage and 2019 is even better!

2016
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Medium bodied, fresh, bright, but not quite crisp, the focus on the light, red fruits, with just a bit of earth for complexity. This is not very deep, but there is just enough here to please folks yearning for older, classic styles of Pomerol. This is probably the best vintage from de Sales, I recall tasting. 4,831 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2017 |

2006
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Light, bright and leaning to the red, tart berry side, the wine is more interesting on the earthy, floral, slanted cherry nose, than on the light red fruit palate. This is not a wine I would hold for evolution. 3,401 Views Tasted Feb 10, 2019 |
