2016 Château la Violette Pomerol

Catherine Père-Vergé bought this small property from Frederic Dumas in 2005. With this purchase, the fate of the chateau was turned upside down. From being virtually unknown, Château La Violette has become one of the most sought-after wines in Pomerol. The small 1.8 hectare property is located close to Trotanoy and Le Pin and is today managed by Catherine Père-Vergé's talented son, Henri Parent, who also manages the sister property Château Le Gay. The vineyards have been thoroughly replanted and are now 100% Merlot. However, there are still many vines over 60 years old in the fields. 2014 was the first vintage to be micro-vinified in the impressive new cellar. This allows winemaker Marcello Pelleriti and consulting oenologist Michel Rolland to achieve far greater precision during fermentation. Production is microscopic with only around 250 cases worldwide, with huge hype! Translated using AI.
