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. As a wine meant for aging, it will not be ready until 2022.
