2016 Enclos de Viaud Lalande de Pomerol

The latest in a series of acquisitions from Peter Kwok who now owns Château la Tour Saint Christophe (a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru facing Troplong Mondot), Château Haut Brisson (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru) and Château la Patache (Pomerol). Not only does Châteaul'Enclos de Viaud benefit from a huge financial investment from the Chinese tycoon but also from the expertise of filmstar consultant Michel Rolland and permanent winemaker Jerome Aguirre who was poached from the estates of Chateaux la Violette, le Gay and Reignac. He has experience making not only some of the finest wines in the region but also some of the finest value for money in the region. A real Asset.
