JAMES SUCKLING: "Very polished and pretty with berry, chocolate and light lemon-peel character. Medium body. Creamy texture. Refined and polished."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of dark berries, red fruits and cherries mingled with hints of mint and violets introduce the 2023 De Sales, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (which performs well on these terroirs) and 5% Cabernet Franc. Charming, elegant and fruit-driven, if it can make it into bottle without succumbing to the Brettanomyces that inflicted the 2021, it will be well worth seeking out."
