Château La Violette 2024

The delicacy and creaminess of a Pomerol wine

The estate

Created in the 1950s, Château La Violette covers 1.68 hectares on the Pomerol plateau in Bordeaux. Owned by the Péré-Vergé family since 2006, this estate takes its name from the characteristic violet perfume of its exceptional wines.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château La Violette benefits from a privileged location on the Pomerol plateau, planted on fine gravel soils. This terroir of 1.68 hectares, of which 1.26 hectares are in production, is nestled between the prestigious châteaux Trotanoy and Le Pin. This exceptional terroir, with vines averaging 30 years of age complemented by a new 7-year-old planting, gives the wines their unique character and remarkable aging potential.

Winemaking and aging

Winemaking follows a rigorous protocol with manual destemming of the grapes. A pre-fermentation maceration at 6°C for 15 days precedes the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations carried out directly in new barrels. Aging continues for 14 months in "Saury Ecrin" barrels that were previously used for the vinification, bringing complexity and structure to the wine.

Grape variety

This 2024 Château La Violette is 100% Merlot.
