{"product_id":"chateau-de-sales-1974","title":"Chateau de Sales Pomerol 1974 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003ePomerol has no classification and almost no grand architecture — most of its famous names are farmhouses with a shed behind. Château de Sales is the exception: a proper seventeenth-century house set in a park, and at roughly forty-seven hectares the largest estate in the appellation. It has stayed in the same family line since the fifteenth century, which in Bordeaux terms is close to unheard of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard lies in the north-west of Pomerol, on lighter, sandier soils than the clay plateau that made Pétrus famous a few hundred metres away. That has always given a rounder, gentler, Merlot-led wine that came round early rather than demanding twenty years in a cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1974 was a difficult, rain-marked vintage across Bordeaux, and a wine of this sort was made to be drunk within a decade. That it has survived five is the whole point. A genuine Pomerol from a named estate, still under a hundred and fifty euro, half a century after it was bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Sales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1974\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pomerol AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to be drunk young, so five decades on the wine is fragile and the bottle is sold as a collectible item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e Good for a 1974 birthday or anniversary on a sensible budget — a real Pomerol, a real fifty-two years, and no showing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e The holding cellar grades the bottle as good for its age; our own inspection and photographs of the level and label reach you before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
