Château de Sales is a historic estate and the largest vineyard in the Pomerol appellation, owned by the same family for over five centuries. Its elegant, 17th-century château is a notable landmark in the region. The estate produces fruit-driven and approachable Merlot-dominant wines from its unique gravel, sand, and iron oxide soils. Today, it is overseen by the latest generation of the family, with a renewed focus on quality and environmental sustainability.
A blend of 79% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc.
