Château Montviel

Château Montviel is an estate in the Bordeaux region that now belongs to Catherine Péré-Vergé. Based in Pomerol since 1985, Catherine Péré-Vergé has demonstrated her energy and motivation by undertaking a vast investment program for her Château Montviel property . This estate is located in the northwest of the appellation, on the outskirts of Libourne on the road to Périgueux.
 
The Château Montviel vineyard covers 5 hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. They are planted on a terroir consisting of a mosaic of plots of fine, sandy gravel at Grand Moulinet and more clayey gravel towards Clinet with iron-rich subsoil. The grape varieties used to make Château Montviel wine are 80% Merlot, which brings roundness, suppleness and fruitiness, and 20% Cabernet Franc, which gives finesse, body and fruitiness to the blend. Catherine Péré-Vergé has always called on her friend Michel Rolland to vinify her wines. For this oenologist, vinifying a great wine means treating it with the utmost care and bringing out the qualities of the grapes, and thus the expression of the terroir.
