Domaine De Viaud Lalande de Pomerol 75cl

Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Domaine de Viaud, located in the heart of Lalande-de-Pomerol, is a 13-hectare estate known for its organically farmed vineyards and exceptional Merlot-based wines. Founded in the 1940s by Marius Bielle, the estate has remained in the family for generations, with Lucette Bielle, Marius's youngest daughter, taking over in 1982. Today, the estate is run with a deep respect for tradition, sustainability, and minimal intervention winemaking, producing wines that reflect the true essence of their terroir.

The vineyard’s 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc are planted on sandy and gravelly soils, ideal for producing rich, elegant wines. Domaine de Viaud has achieved AB and Biodyvin certification, with organic farming practices that include natural grass cover and the use of herbal teas and plant decoctions to protect the vines. The estate avoids thermoregulation and filtration in the winemaking process, allowing the wines to age naturally in concrete tanks for 22 months. Damien Bielle, who returned to the estate in 2020, brings fresh insights after working at prestigious Bordeaux estates, continuing the family’s legacy while staying true to its philosophy of producing wines that express the unique character of the Lalande-de-Pomerol terroir.
