Chateau de Sales is the largest estate in the Pomerol appelation and has been owned by the same family for more than five hundred years. Built during the 17th century, the chateau possesses exceptional beauty and elegance; the same is true for its wines. They are the true expression of the marvellous terroir from which they come. The architecture of Chateau de Sales makes it a remarkable setting. From its tasting room to its bamboo gardens, from its vat house to its wine storehouse, the estate's pure refinement is also found in the "silky" quality that characterizes its wines and those of Pomerol appelation in general.
1989 Bordeaux wine provided numerous examples of stellar Bordeaux. But with the notable exception of Chateau Haut Brion , it is a year where the best 1989 Bordeaux wine was not made by the First Growths . 1989 Bordeaux wine is in large shaped by the fact that the Merlot was favored over Cabernet Sauvignon. The reason for that is, numerous Left Bank chateaux harvested their Cabernet Sauvignon before the grapes had the chance to reach full maturity. The Merlot set a record for alcohol levels at that time, reaching between 13.5% to almost 15% for some vats! That level of ripeness and alcohol was unequaled in those days.
As an appellation, perhaps Pomerol was the most successful region for quality 1989 Bordeaux wine!!
