the largest property in Pomerol appellation

Château de Sales sits northwest of Pomerol appellation. With its 90-hectare estate (including 47.60 hectares of vines), an extraordinary property still owned by the same family after nearly five centuries. This site, exceptional through its history and environment, offers visitors an incredible history to whoever knows how to listen.

This family property is Pomerol's largest, the wines produced there are the worthy expression of Pomerol terroir: round, full wines of singular elegance.

Château de Sales offers surprising landscape diversity. You'll easily pass from the château itself to its hectares of vines, then a huge garden ending in a small forest leading to a naturally fed pond (a real personal water mirror). This diversity is quite astonishing and you enjoy imagining spending days there, picnics, etc.

TOURS & TASTINGS

One of Château de Sales's pluses: the different ways offered to discover it. From afterwork to barrel tasting, classic discovery, formulas to wake your palate (where you'll discover chocolate & wine or cheese & wine pairings) or discover the courtyard and garden history, Château de Sales offers many ways to discover its history, secrets and wines.

With 5 centuries of history and know-how, trust me, plenty to surprise you and give you a magnificent moment.

And I haven't spoken of the tastings yet! The venue is simply magnificent. Both modern and old, an elegant marriage honoring the beauty of the wines tasted there. Warm, magnificent (yes I already said it, worth the doublet) and the wines... WHAT WINES! Round, supple tannins, elegant body, gourmet, well made... Magnificent (dang... 3 times).

You feel the years of know-how to reach such a wine. Hats off! (can you pour me another?)
