  • What the experts say...

    Le 1995 pourrait être à terme l'une des plus belles réussites de la propriété depuis 1982. D'un rubis foncé, il présente un nez séduisant de cerise confiturée, de terre et de kirsch marqué de curieuses notes de bois de balsa. Souple en bouche, ce vin y révèle, outre une très belle concentration et une texture ronde et veloutée, un caractère des plus plaisants. La finale, riche et nette, contient des notes de fruits rouges. (...) Source: Robert Parker (11/97)

    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.
