Tasting Notes

The 2024 La Violette, aged in 80% in new oak, has a gorgeous bouquet with pure black cherries and crushed violet scents—well defined while retaining that opulent style. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins in its signature style, not as complex as the best vintages but it maintains balance and purity to the end. Just 2,600 bottles were produced.

The 2024 La Violette is a sensual yet powerful Pomerol. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, chocolate and espresso all meld together. La Violette is vinified entirely in French oak barrels. It's an approach that seems especially well-suited to this wine, as the wood amplifies flavor intensity. In recent years, La Violette has shed some of the heavy extraction that was penalizing in the past.

This has a ton of chiselled black fruit, great depth and silkiness. Lovely texture, lots of juice, bright blue fruits, creamy as it opens, soft incense and cedar oak. Long cold soak of 8 days (not unusual here), 100% new oak. Definitely keeps the estate signature. 100% integral vinification, and all de-stemmed by hand, 1.68ha.
