Description

As ever-fewer estates remain family-owned, the largest one in Pomerol is still run by the same family as it was almost five centuries ago – an exception indeed in the Bordeaux region. Château de Sales has been passed down from generation to generation ever since the 16th century, when it was acquired by the Sauvanelle family. Since 1578, Château de Sales has seen four different families: the Sauvanelles, the Desaigues, the de Laages and the Lamberts, the changes in name occuring when the estate was passed down through the women of the family.  Château de Sales is currently owned by the Lamberts and their children, who are direct descendants of the Sauvanelles.
