Pomerol Chateau de Sales 2015
Château de Sales is the largest vineyard in Pomerol, held by the same family for over five centuries in a seventeenth-century chartreuse listed as a historic monument. Merlot-dominant on gravel and iron-rich sand, it makes fleshy, silky, classically elegant Pomerol.
This 2015 Pomerol from the appellation's largest estate blends roughly seventy percent Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc on gravel and iron-rich sand. Now a decade old, expect ripe red and black fruit, floral top notes and silky, well-integrated tannins — classic, elegant Pomerol at a fine drinking window.
