Chateau de Sales

About

Château de Sales is one of the few Bordeaux estates to have been passed on intact from one generation to the next ever since the late 15th century. The Château itself, built in 1647 and unchanged since, was given historical monument status in 1996. With over 47.6 hectares of the 90-hectare estate under vines, Château de Sales has the largest vineyard in the Pomerol appellation. The two Château de Sales wines are the expression of their terroir: fruit-driven, round and full-bodied with silky tannins, smoothness and elegance. They reflect the perfect match between the grape varieties used, predominantly Merlot with some Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and the estate’s gravelly, sandy soil.
