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.
Tasting Notes
- WA100
- Sadly, there`s not a whole lot of production to this microscopic estate in Pomerol, but the name says it all. The awesome aromatics include not only raspberries, black cherries, and blackberry, but also the floral perfume of an haute couture house. Its terrific aromatics are followed by a wine with quintessential elegance married to almost unbridled density of fruit, all presented in a flawless and seamless concoction of full-bodied power, elegance and purity. This is a riveting wine and certainly one of the great classics to ever be produced by this tiny estate. Kudos to proprietress Catherine Pere-Verge. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035.
