Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
A specific plot on the Château Villars estate is set aside for this wine. It is powerful, dense, and dark, with firm tannins, high alcohol content, and generous black fruit flavors. A wine meant for aging, it will not be ready until 2022.
