  • What the experts say...

    Peut-être légèrement atypique de la propriété, le de Sales 1983 est gras, confituré et alcoolique. Outre un fruité opulent, il révèle un bouquet mûr aux notes de cerise et de pêche et présente en bouche une texture souple et visqueuse. (...) Source: Robert Parker (4/91)

    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.
