The 2018 Château de Sales Pomerol is a classic Right Bank Bordeaux from the largest privately owned estate in Pomerol. Benefiting from the excellent 2018 vintage, this Merlot-led blend offers generous fruit, refined structure and the elegant character that defines the appellation. The nose is expressive with aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry, complemented by violet, cedar, cocoa and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of ripe dark berries, liquorice and gentle oak are balanced by hints of truffle and mineral notes, leading to a long, polished finish. Careful ageing in French oak enhances complexity while preserving the wine's freshness and purity.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the elegance of Pomerol. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Drinking beautifully now with a short decant, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.
