Das Château
Im Herzen der Hochebene von Pomerol, am rechten Ufer des Bordeaux, verdankt das Château La Violette seinen Namen den charakteristischen Aromen, die das Bouquet seiner Weine verströmt.Château La Violette besitzt einen kleinen außergewöhnlichen Weinberg auf der Hochebene von Pomerol. Die Reben sind auf lehmig-kiesigem Boden gepflanzt.
Espresso beans, roasted plums, incense, spice, black cherries, flowers and wet earth fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is plush and polished, soft, silky and fresh with concentrated layers of espresso tinted, spicy cherries, plums, cocoa and blackberries as well as a touch of chalk in the endnote. 13.4% ABV, the harvest took place September 29-October 4. The yields were low at 20 hectoliters hectare, about half of the normal production, so this is going to be very hard, if not impossible to find after release. Drink from 2025-2045. Jeff Leve
Offering up aromas of cherries, cassis and plums mingled with notions of licorice, spices and creamy new oak, the 2021 La Violette is a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered wine built around a fleshy core of fruit and powdery, liberally extracted tannins. Like its stablemate Le Gay, it's vinified entirely in new barrels. Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
