{"title":"CHATEAU DE SALES","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Sales is a historic estate in Pomerol, one of Bordeaux's most prestigious Right Bank appellations. With a winemaking history stretching back several centuries, the château is particularly notable as the largest vineyard estate in Pomerol. Its elegant, traditionally styled wines offer an approachable expression of the appellation, combining generous Merlot fruit with freshness, refined tannins and classic Bordeaux complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate is distinguished by its impressive château and extensive vineyards situated in the north-western part of Pomerol. Unlike the predominantly clay-rich terroirs found on parts of the famous Pomerol plateau, Château de Sales features soils with significant gravel and sand alongside clay, contributing to a style that emphasises aromatic freshness, finesse and accessibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerlot forms the foundation of Château de Sales, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot contributes ripe plum, cherry and supple texture, while Cabernet Franc provides floral aromatics and freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and additional complexity, creating a balanced expression of traditional Pomerol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines typically reveal aromas and flavours of red cherry, plum, blackberry and raspberry, accompanied by violet, cedar, tobacco, herbs and subtle earthy notes. The palate tends to be medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and lively acidity. Compared with some of Pomerol's most powerful wines, Château de Sales is often characterised by elegance and drinkability while still offering rewarding medium-term cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful vineyard management and selective harvesting are followed by parcel-by-parcel vinification, allowing the characteristics of different vineyard sections and grape varieties to be preserved before blending. Maturation in French oak contributes additional texture and complexity while maintaining the fruit-driven, refined personality of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Sales represents an attractive introduction to Pomerol, particularly for wine lovers seeking classic Right Bank Bordeaux without the extreme rarity associated with many of the appellation's smallest estates. Its extensive vineyard holdings, long history and elegant house style have established it as a distinctive name within this celebrated Bordeaux region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop Château de Sales wines online at Wine More Cellars Australia.
