"It's a pleasure to rediscover this vintage, which I've tasted at least six times since its release. It is becoming slender and taut, while retaining a fruity base, but blended with notes of leather and undergrowth. The tertiary aromas are slowly coming to the fore, softening the already very fine tannins. A moment of refined pleasure." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). A great Pomerol!

Wine rated (2011 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2009 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Located on two terroirs, one near Clinet on clayey gravel, and the other on fine gravel in the Grand Moulinet area, Montviel was purchased in 1985 by the Péré-Vergé family. The latter restored it with a substantial investment program, including the renovation of the vat room. Over the past ten years, the château's wines have been steadily improving to produce an elegant Pomerol."
