A benchmark expression of classic Right Bank elegance. With one of the largest vineyard in the appellation still in family hands, Château de Sales brings together heritage and precision in a vintage that Bordeaux lovers revere.
Crafted predominantly from Merlot, with touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe black cherries, violets, and subtle cedar. The palate is supple yet structured, showing polished tannins, dark berry fruit, and earthy undertones, all balanced by the freshness and length characteristic of the exceptional 2016 vintage.
Generous and graceful, this is a wine that drinks beautifully now but will reward further cellaring.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
