Château La Violette 2019 🇫🇷​

Experience the epitome of Pomerol elegance with the Château La Violette 2019 Magnum. Crafted exclusively from 100% Merlot grapes, this exceptional vintage showcases the rich terroir of Bordeaux's right bank. Renowned for its opulent texture and aromatic complexity, Château La Violette stands as a testament to meticulous winemaking and the unique characteristics of Pomerol wines.​

"The 2019 La Violette has a well-defined nose with black fruit, pencil box, truffle, and incense aromas, tight at first but blossoming with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with plusher tannins than the Le Gay. Well defined with a keen thread of acidity, this is concentrated on the finish with a long black pepper-infused aftertaste. Backward in style, but it will reward patience." – Neal Martin, Vinous, 95 points. ​

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep purple hue with garnet reflections.​

• Nose: Enticing aromas of violets, blackberries, and cassis, complemented by hints of truffle and incense.​

• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, featuring layers of ripe black fruits, subtle notes of pencil shavings, and well-integrated tannins.​

• Finish: Long and complex, with lingering flavors of black pepper and dark chocolate.​

The Story Behind the Wine (Winery & Winemaker Insight): Château La Violette is a distinguished 1.8-hectare estate nestled on the Pomerol plateau between Château Trotanoy and Le Pin. Acquired by Vignobles Péré-Vergé in 2006, the estate has since been under the meticulous care of winemaker Marcelo Pelleriti. The vineyard's unique clay and gravel soils, combined with traditional viticultural practices such as manual de-stemming and aging in new French oak barrels, contribute to the wine's exceptional quality and limited production. ​

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Steak & Red Meats: Pairs excellently with grilled ribeye, filet mignon, or slow-braised short ribs, enhancing the meat's rich flavors.​

• Aged Cheeses: Complements aged Gouda or creamy blue cheese, balancing the wine's tannins with the cheese's texture.​

• Vegetarian Options: Delicious alongside mushroom risotto or roasted eggplant with balsamic glaze, highlighting the wine's earthy notes.​
