Unsurprisingly, the wine owes its name to its remarkable aroma of violets. This 100% Merlot is matured for an average of 24 months in tanks and casks (60% new wood each year), and presents great depth. In addition to violet, blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry are also present. This olfactory signature alone is enough to ensure the wine's uniqueness. The mouthfeel is all about refinement and precision. A wine for drinking after 5-25 years' keeping.
Dark and brooding, with focused tannins that are polished and integrated, balanced by a lovely expression of fruit and freshness that pulls everything into place. James Suckling The 2025 La Violette, 100% Merlot is a dense, powerful wine. Blackberry, gravel, bittersweet chocolate, licorice and expresso are all dialed up.The 2025 possesses off-the-charts fruit richness and tannins to match. As usual, the vintage will not be released for many years, so there is plenty of time for it to come together. It is one of the wines on the Right Bank that are defined by miniscule yields. Saury Ecraine estimates that production will be around 1,500 bottles, about a third of the normal amount. Vinous

About the Producer Château la Violette
The renaissance of Château La Violette can be attributed to the late Catherine Péré-Vergé. Situated on a dream terroir in the very heart of Pomerol, this estate of just 1.8 hectares now produces one of the appellation's most sought-after wines. With production limited to just 400 cases, this is unfortunately an ultra-rare wine.
