La Violette 2010
The Winery
La Violette
Château La Violette is a Bordeaux winery in Pomerol that makes a limited-production varietal Merlot. It's one of several châteaux owned by Vignobles Péré-Vergé which includes the other Pomerol sites Château le Gay and Château Montviel. The wine is made from a vineyard slightly smaller than 5 acres, bought by Péré-Vergé in 2006. The vineyard is divided into four plots of vines, some planted in the 1950s, and farmed by the same workers as Montviel and Le Gay.
Summary
La Violette 2010 is a distinguished red Bordeaux blend from the Pomerol region, crafted from meticulously sourced old Merlot vines. The wine is known for its deep garnet hue and a complex bouquet featuring ripe red and black fruits, complemented by earthy notes of leather and cedar. Its full-bodied palate showcases layers of berry preserves, supported by a firm structure and a chewy texture. The oak influence remains prominent, but the wine's balance hints at its aging potential. This micro-cuvée, produced with extreme care and precision, reflects the unique terroir of Pomerol and is celebrated for its rich character and longevity. The blend is predominantly Merlot.
