Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine), Gault Millau 90/100, RVF 15/20, B&D 15/20,
Château Montviel is one of the few estates in Pomerol to draw on two magnificent terroirs: fine, sandy gravel at the "Grand Moulinet" site, and more clay-rich gravel near Clinet, with a subsoil of "crasse de fer." A great Pomerol!

About the estate:
"Located on two terroirs—one near Clinet on clay-gravel soils, and the other on fine gravel soils in the Grand Moulinet area—Montviel was acquired in 1985 by the Péré-Vergé family. They restored the estate through a substantial investment program, including the renovation of the fermentation tanks. Over the past ten years, the château’s wines have gradually improved to produce an elegant Pomerol.”
