97-98+ 2023 La Violette is offering a spicy, elegant and fresh, precise nose of perfectly mature fruit. The wine has peppery notes and loads of roasted elements and a pure finish of Asian spices with copious amounts of deep, sweet, crunchy, dark and well composed fruit. This is an amazing, pure and elegant wine with a great and fresh finish. It can be approached when 5-7 years old and should be having a great aging potential as well.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Vinous Media

The 2023 La Violette is terrific. Ample and explosive, La Violette dials up an exotic mix of inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, chocolate and leather. Fermentation and aging in barrel exalts textural nuance. As always, La Violette represents an especially opulent style within Bordeaux.

Jeb Dunnuck

Plummy red and black fruits, sappy flowers, chocolate, graphite, and violets all emerge from the 2023 La Violette, a smaller-production Pomerol that was vinified and aged entirely in barrel. As with the Le Gay from the same team, this is a more exotic, elegant style, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with beautifully integrated oak, a round, layered, seamless mouthfeel, and fine tannins. This classy, nuanced, graceful Pomerol needs to be hidden for 4-6 years and will cruise over the following two decades. Drink 2030-2050.

James Suckling

A rich and dense red from 100% merlot, with aromas of plums, hazelnuts, cedar and some cacao and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and slightly chewy but velvety with an integrated texture. A little old school, but solid. Needs three or four years to come together.

Wine Spectator

A friendly red, with an up-front and caressing feel to its dark plum and blackberry confiture notes, all dusted with cocoa and framed with perfumed black tea on the finish. For fans of the showier style. Drink now through 2038. 322 cases made.
