Château de Sales 2019

A great red wine from Pomerol

The property

Located in the northwest of Pomerol, the Château de Sales is a historic property on the right bank of Bordeaux, belonging to the same family for over five centuries. The Lambert heirs and their children now oversee the destiny of this emblematic property producing great wines from Pomerol.

The vineyard

With an area of 47.60 hectares, the vineyard of Château de Sales is thus the largest in the Pomerol appellation.

The vintage

After a mild and wet winter, the vines underwent early bud break. Two frosts occurred on May 5 and 6 without however affecting the vineyard of Château de Sales. Thanks to the property's terroir, the water stress caused by the significant heat of the summer months was limited. The harvest thus began on September 20 and ended on October 8 with berries promising the birth of a great vintage.

Vinification and aging

The aging is carried out in new barrels (15%) and barrels of 1 to 3 years (85%)

Blend

Merlot (72.5%),
