Another brilliant Pomerol in the vintage, the 2020 Château Montviel has a pure, medium to full-bodied, vibrant profile carrying darker, almost blue, iron-tinged fruits, lots of violet, floral, and chocolate nuances, fine tannins, and outstanding length. This classic 2020 brings lots of ripe, sexy fruit and texture yet stays balanced and seamless, with a real sense of elegance. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years. It's every bit as good as the 2019.

This early and dry harvest delivered some impeccable merlot in many estates. This is why I have a slight preference for Pomerol in 2020 among all the superb wines produced. In fact, a large percentage of my top-rated wines were from this appellation.

The 2020 Montviel is exuberant and flashy to the core. A rush of back fruit, spice, leather, chocolate, tobacco, incense and sweet French oak races across the palate. This full-bodied Pomerol is not exactly subtle, but it sure is delicious.

Vert de Vin Magazine

“The nose is fruity with freshness and a little intensity. We perceive notes of boysenberry, ripe wild blackcurrant and small notes of cubeb pepper associated with touches of fresh strawberries as well as a fine hint of star anise, spices and a very discreet note of sap. The palate is fruity with juiciness and gourmandise. There is a little creaminess, tension and accuracy as well. There are notes of juicy and pulpy blackberries, creamy blackcurrant and small notes of strawberries associated with touches of star anise, liquorice, blueberry as well as fine hints of tonka bean. This is a wine with freshness.”

For Pomerol, the 2020 vintage was nothing short of exemplary, and many consider it to be one of the finest-performing appellations of the 2020 Bordeaux vintage.
