Merlot 100%
"The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a small power, gourmandize, a fine intensity as well as delicacy. It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, pulpy cassis, small notes of violet associated with small touches of violet plum, cornflower as well as hints of crushed strawberry, fine hints of caramelization and nutmeg/chocolate. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine acidulous frame, deepness, a fine gourmandize, a finesse of the grain as well as a fine unctuosity, a beautiful delicacy and matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, juicy blackberry, small notes of violet plum associated with touches of small crushed black fruits as well as hints of cornflower, chocolate, caramelization and a subtle hint of sweet spices. Tannins are elegant and well-built." - VertdeVin
"Very deep purple-black colored, the 2019 La Violette flaunts a stunning nose of Black Forest cake, red roses, blueberry preserves and prunes with hints of black tea, cinnamon toast, Sichuan pepper and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is beautifully poised with firm, ripe tannins and lovely freshness supporting the fragrant black fruit layers, finishing long and spicy." - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
"Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr et toasté. Fondant en départ de bouche, plus parfumé au milieu que le nez ne le laisserait supposer, juteux, avec un corps au soyeux inédit, le vin s’étire en finale, savoureux, sur une très belle longueur. 100 % merlot." - Jean-Marc Quarin
"Deep in color, the nose explodes from the glass with its intoxicating aromatic profile. Violets, boysenberry, blackberries, bitter chocolate, cherries and a bit of truffle poking through mark the spot. Full, deep, rich and concentrated, with incredibly long, lush, sensuous textures are perfect for the endless wall of fruit. This is a sublime Pomerol." - Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
"The 2019 La Violette bursts out of the blocks with a smorgasbord of lush black cherry and blueberry fruit swathed in new oak, well defined and focused with incense and Clementine scents emerging with aeration. The palate is bright and fresh on the entry. The new oak here is nearly folded into the mostly black fruit laced with graphite (you might be duped into thinking there is a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend!) Long in the mouth, this is a less flashy and more classically styled La Violette that should give 30 years of pleasure. Excellent." - Neal Martin - Vinous
