Château La Violette 2021

On the heights of the famous plateau of Pomerol with its iron dross subsoil, "the holy of holies" according to the oenologist Michel Rolland, in Catusseau, Château LA VIOLETTE takes its name from an original and exquisite perfume of violets which has always seduced the finest palates...

This property, a fine flower of Pomerol with a vineyard of 1.8 hectares, was bought by the VIGNOBLES PÉRÉ-VERGÉ in 2006, already owner in the same appellation of the prestigious Château LE GAY and Château MONTVIEL.

In the vineyard, which is made up of 4 parcels located on the highest point of the plateau, the work is very meticulous, with disbudding, green harvesting, leaf removal according to the age of the vines and each parcel.

"The extraction is much slower, therefore softer, the contact surface of the must with the wood is more important than in a wooden tank. The objective is to produce a smooth, charming, fleshier wine, in which all the expression of the fruit is preserved."
