"The estate's very old vines melt the material with a concerted, matte richness that lets the black fruit show through on a note of soy. The tight attack with its noble woodiness becomes clearer on the more forthright finish". (Le Guide RVF 2024). Potential in this intense, generous Prestige!

About the wine:
The estate's very old vines melt the material with a concerted, matte richness that lets the black fruit show through on a note of soy. The tight, noble-wooded attack becomes clearer on the more straightforward finish.
About the domain :
Château Viella is one of the appellation's leading estates, for both wine and wine tourism. Its 25 hectares in a single block, situated on south-facing slopes and hillsides, produce concentrated wines of a rare velvety quality. Excellent value for money, Viella's wines are consistent. Charming without being overbearing, they are approachable from their earliest youth, thanks to the richness of very ripe, well-balanced fruit.
