Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet colour with mature highlights beginning to emerge. The nose is expected to be elegant and layered, with aromas of ripe dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, earthy truffle, and subtle spice. On the palate, De Sales Pomerol 2005 should feel smooth and well-structured, combining mature fruit with savoury complexity, refined tannins, and a long, polished finish. Thanks to the quality of the vintage and the wine’s structure, it has the potential to continue drinking beautifully now, while still offering some additional cellar life for those who prefer more developed Bordeaux character.

Production
Château de Sales is located in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where gravelly and clay-rich soils help produce wines with both concentration and elegance. The estate benefits from the region’s temperate Atlantic climate, and the fruit is typically harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve balance and aromatic detail. Vinification follows traditional Bordeaux methods, with careful extraction and ageing in oak to build texture, complexity, and ageing capacity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game birds, and mushroom-based dishes such as risotto or terrine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening now, especially if you want the aromas to open up fully.

Producer
Château de Sales is one of the largest and most historic estates in Pomerol, with a long family legacy and a strong reputation for producing elegant, age-worthy wines. The property is well regarded in Bordeaux for its consistency and classic expression of the Right Bank style, and it remains a respected name among Pomerol producers.
