The appellation is known for its Merlot wines and is home to many relatively small estates. The size of Ch\u00e2teau de Sales is therefore remarkable. This vintage demonstrates how a warm growing season can influence the region\u2019s classic character.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of the Class of 2020<\/h3>\n<p>The summer of 2020 in Bordeaux was warm, with periods of dry weather. Soil moisture played a key role in the ripening of the grapes. In Pomerol, Merlot takes center stage\u2014a grape that often yields a round structure and ripe dark fruit here. Ch\u00e2teau de Sales is one of the larger estates in the appellation and has been in the same family for generations. This is unusual in a region where the history of many estates has been shaped by a succession of owners. Furthermore, Pomerol has no official classification like the 1855 classification on the Left Bank. The reputation of the wines rests on the quality of the individual estates. In 2020, Ch\u00e2teau de Sales displays a rich and structured style. With further bottle aging, youthful fruit notes will gradually give way to cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthy aromas.<\/p>\n<h3>Aroma and taste<\/h3>\n<p>Expect black cherries, plums, blackberries, and a hint of spice. The flavor is round and well-balanced, with tannins that complement the fruit. The exact character also depends on the wine\u2019s age and how it has been stored.<\/p>\n<h3>Serving and Pairing<\/h3>\n<p>Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary and enjoy how the aromas unfold. Pair with lamb, duck, beef, or dishes featuring mushrooms.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>Compare with other Bordeaux wines in our selection:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2018-chateau-de-sales-pomerol\/\">2018 Ch\u00e2teau de Sales<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2021-chateau-de-sales-pomerol\/\">2021 Ch\u00e2teau de Sales<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2020-chateau-fonplegade-saint-emilion\/\">2020 Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to check out our selection <a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product-categorie\/wijn\/rode-wijn\/bordeaux\/\">Bordeaux<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ch\u00e2teau de Sales 2020 is a Merlot-dominant Pomerol with ripe fruit notes and good structure.
