  • What the experts say...

    Remarquablement réussi pour le millésime, le de Sales 1981 se présente comme un vin assez riche et plutôt concentré, doté d'un fuité charnu et mûr, étayé par des notes de chêne épicé. Moyennement corsé en bouche, persistant en finale, il est aussi gracieux que savoureux. (...) Source: Robert Parker (11/84)

    The wine

    The sandy-gravelly soil of château de Sales gives us this supple and silky wine. As only a small part of the wine is aged in barrels, the cru unfurls a very subtle woodiness and has the advantage of being appreciated when young.
