Château La Violette 2010 is a full-bodied, Merlot red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Located at the top of the Pomerol plateau close to Château Trotanoy and Le Pin,
La Violette is a property of just 1.6ha of old-vine Merlot, but whose reputation far exceeds its tiny size. "Made of 100% Merlot, the deep garnet coloured 2010 La Violette comes bounding out of the glass with notes of kirsch, black raspberries, baked cherries and mulberries plus wafts of stewed tea, cedar chest and dried Provence herbs. Full-bodied, the palate is still carrying a lot of oak with youthful black and red berry preserves layers and a chewy texture, finishing very long and spritely." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, 2020
The 2010 La Violette has a well-defined bouquet with predominantly red fruit laced with scorched earth, leather and just a touch of cassis in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a grippy entry. This has fine backbone, perhaps a good deal of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Very expressive towards the finish and extremely persistent. A class act that is just beginning to show what it is capable of. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. - Neil Martin
