2005 is a memorable vintage. This is what Decanter.com had to say:
"If ever there was a year for the later ripening terroirs of the Côtes and Fronsac this was it. The clement conditions throughout the year and during the harvest were perfect for ripeness. As well, clay-limestone soils helped regulate water stress. This then was a very ripe vintage with a plentiful supply of tannins and big sugar potential (wines at 14.5-15° in some cases). The danger here was twofold, a ‘porty’ tone to the wines if the ripeness was pushed too far and long fermentations which needed hygienic conditions and a soft touch to avoid further imbalance or microbiological spoilage. A number of wines had not finished their malolactic fermentation by the primeur tastings. In general, rich, powerful, long-term wines providing the correct balance was achieved. James Lawther MW"

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.
