"The 2022 Chantalouette, the second wine of Château de Sales, was picked from 7-21 September. Reasonably straightforward with slightly earthy red fruit on the nose, it displays a light iodine scent that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, mainly black fruit with a touch of pencil lead, though I find the finish just a little dry at the moment. It will demand a very prudent élevage."

"The 2022 Chante Alouette, the second wine from Château de Sales, is a potent, brooding Pomerol. Incense, wild herbs, scorched earth and tobacco meld into a core of somber dark fruit. There's no shortage of substance or tannin here, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced."
Antonio Galloni, January 2025, Vinous.com
"The second wine of Château De Sales, the 2022 Château Chantalouette is based on 72% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, all from a larger vineyard of gravelly, iron-laced soils. This ruby-hued 2022 has a solid perfume of ripe black cherries, leafy herbs, damp earth, and graphite that carries to a medium to full-bodied, round, lush, seamless Pomerol that's perfect for drinking any time over the coming decade or more. For a second wine, it has terrific tannins and should easily be an outstanding wine."
