Château Montviel

Château Montviel is a vineyard in the Bordeaux region that is now owned by Catherine Péré-Vergé. Based in Pomerol since 1985, Catherine Péré-Vergé has demonstrated her energy and dedication by undertaking a major investment program for her Château Montviel estate . This estate is located in the northwest of the appellation, just outside Libourne on the road to Périgueux.
 
The Château Montviel vineyard spans 5 hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. They grow on a terroir composed of a mosaic of plots featuring fine, sandy gravel in the Grand Moulinet area and more clay-rich gravel near Clinet, with subsoils of iron-rich clay. The grape varieties used to produce Château Montviel are 80% Merlot, which brings roundness, suppleness, and fruit, and 20% Cabernet Franc, which adds finesse, body, and fruit to the blend. Catherine Péré-Vergé has always relied on her friend Michel Rolland for the vinification of her wines. For this oenologist, making a great wine means treating it with the utmost care and highlighting the qualities of the grape, thereby expressing the terroir.
