La Violette is one of the most confidential and distinctive estates of Pomerol, a rare wine defined by an extraordinarily pure, floral and sensual expression of merlot. Located on a tiny parcel at the heart of the plateau’s greatest terroirs, the vineyard sits on fine gravel mixed with clay and the appellation’s iron rich subsoil, giving the wine its silky depth and unmistakable aromatic signature. La Violette is marked by captivating aromas of intense violet, peony, fresh black cherry, ripe plum, delicate truffle, fine cocoa and sometimes a whisper of gentle spice. The palate is velvety and deep, with an almost creamy texture supported by silky tannins and remarkable fruit brightness. The wine unites density and grace, concentration and fluidity, creating an almost surreal balance. With age, La Violette gains fascinating floral and spicy complexity while maintaining the airy elegance that makes it one of the most enchanting and rare expressions of Pomerol.
