This specific cuvée is sourced from an 18-hectare single vineyard, where the unique combination of clay, silica, and fine gravel soils produces a wine that captures the hallmark elegance and complexity of the estate's terroir in a more approachable style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/pomerol\"\u003eBrowse our Pomerol Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56361401418072,"sku":"300006","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/fugue-de-nenin-pomerol-2019-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1769096019"},{"product_id":"2022-chateau-de-sales-pomerol","title":"Château de Sales, Pomerol, 2022","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA soft and refined expression of Pomerol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaning toward the bright red fruit end of the spectrum, the Château de Sales 2022 offers an inviting bouquet of red plums, wild strawberries, and raspberries.

The 2022 vintage was defined by a mild, dry winter and a late budburst that fortunately shielded the vineyard from early April frosts. A warm spring accelerated the growing cycle, leading to flowering ten days ahead of the ten-year average, while the vines showed remarkable resilience against the scorching, dry summer heat. This durability resulted in an advanced veraison and an early harvest between September 7th and 21st, producing a wine that reflects both the estate's historic scale and the concentrated intensity of a unique growing season. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/pomerol\"\u003eBrowse our Pomerol Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56361408954712,"sku":"300007","price":53.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/chateau-de-sales-pomerol-2022-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1769095134"},{"product_id":"2020-ballade-de-la-pointe-pomerol","title":"Ballade de la Pointe, Pomerol, 2020","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell structured Pomerol with dark fruits and spicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark ruby red in color, the nose reveals aromas of black and red fruits, blueberry, currant, blackberry, strawberry and raspberry, as well as spicy notes.
