Chateau Chantalouette Pomerol, 2016

Regular price $98.00
Sold out

This wine is made from 72% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the second wine under the renowned Château de Sales ownership. 2016 was an exceptional vintage, with a cool early growing season followed by a hot and dry summer into harvest. The grapes were able to mature very slowly and gently, developing all the richness and depth they needed. 1/3 of the juice was matured in oak with the rest done in vats. Intensely aromatic with fresh spices, and well balanced palate of red and black fruits and cocoa. We would pair it with a juicy prime rib seasoned with rosemary, garlic, and sea salt. Throw in some duck fat fried potatoes with the same seasonings and call it a feast.

Details

From our Importer: Château Chantalouette is the second wine of Château de Sales. Owned by the same family for over five centuries, the 116 acre estate is the largest in the appellation and boasts the only true castle of Pomerol.

Certified of “High Environmental Value” (HVE) since 2020, Château Chantalouette practises virtuous viticulture that integrates and develops biodiversity. The viticultural approach is traditional: the vineyard is ploughed regularly and cultivated with respect for the environment; cover cropping and green harvest are practised with great care. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal maturity of each bloc.

Vinification is managed delicately, leading to beautifully crafted wines that are expressive of their terroir. Traditional racking and light egg-white fining help to preserve the brightness of the fruit.

Chantalouette is named after one of the larger parcels constituting the vineyard of Château de Sales. The wine is charming, round, elegant, and approachable from a young age.
