The blend: Merlot (79.5%), Cabernet Sauvignon (13%), Cabernet Franc (7.5%).
Colour: A deep purple colour.
Nose: Pleasant notes of black fruits (blueberry, blackberry) highlight the beautiful maturity of the Merlot grapes.
Palate: Perfectly translating the nose, the palate reveals an ideal balance between freshness and aromatic complexity, all of which is sustained by subtle woody notes. The melted tannins, the silky texture and the long finish guarantee a great ageing potential.
Château de Sales Description
At this stage, this wine is all about the tannins that dominate the black fruits. But fruit weight is there, promising good things as the wine matures. Smoky wood and blackberry flavors are set against a solid structure. There is potential here, so let the wine soften and mature. Drink from 2024.

James Suckling: 91 Points
A very nicely integrated wine with attractive blue fruit and slate-like, savory elements, offering a complete impression on both nose and palate. Drink or hold.
