91/100Jane Anson,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Light in structure but crisp and fruit forward, well defined, crunchy red cherry fruit, crushed sage, white pepper spice, fragrant and tasty, no need to wait more than a year or two to begin drinking. 15% new oak barrels for ageing. Harvest 19 September to 4 October.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Subtle notes of red plums, Bing cherries, and bay leaves slowly emerge from the glass with a hint of graphite. The light-bodied palate is a touch chewy with just enough acidity to give lift to the finish.

86-88/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2024 Château de Sales is a dark, somber Pomerol. Strong earthy notes lead into black fruit, menthol, licorice, tobacco, leather and dried herbs. I would very much like to see if Château de Sales, the largest estate in Pomerol, could soften the intensely savory (at times vegetal) imprint of their wines and also find a bit more finesse in the tannins. Obviously, 2024 did not provide the ideal conditions, but these have been the penalizing attributes of de Sales for some time.
