Chat L'Etoile De Viaud 2019

From Lalande de Pomerol on Bordeaux's Right Bank, Chateau l'Etoile de Viaud is crafted by the Chevalier family, fourth generation growers who acquired these vines in 1996. A Merlot dominant blend rounded out with Cabernet Franc, it shows the ripe red fruit, suppleness, and elegance that make this neighboring appellation such a value alongside Pomerol itself. Polished and approachable, it is an easy drinking claret that drinks beautifully now with poultry, veal, and roasted dishes.
