Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.

Very classy indeed. To 2011.''

Chateau L'Etoile de Viaud 2005 - £12.99
Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
The vineyards of Chateau L'Etoile de Viaud lie close to Pomerol (home to some of the world's most expensive reds - Petrus, Le Pin etc) and enjoy a similar superb terroir. Very low yields of Merlot are grown here by the Chevalier family, whose fine estate wins regular plaudits in La Revue du Vin de France, and their claret boasts a sumptuous palate of layered, velvety damson. It confirms Robert Parker's opinion that the best Lalandes rival good Pomerol. Pure, deep and concentrated with copious black fruit flavours, chocolaty notes and a gorgeous, chewy texture. Like most 2005s it will drink beautifully on release but will continue to develop.
