Chateau La Violette 1996 - Pomerol

Chateau La Violette 1996 - Pomerol

Château la Violette takes its name, according to legend, from the very particular aroma of violets that emerges from the moment it is opened.

It's hard not to be influenced when tasting. That's why we advise you, if you're a player, to have it tasted blind.

The rating of this château has been rising steadily since a certain "flying winemaker" took an interest in it. Added to this is the fact that this estate produces as many bottles as a small estate in Burgundy or Champagne, i.e. around 25,000 bottles per year, making it relatively rare.

The terroir and the long aging of this Pomerol allow it to age easily for more than 20 years. The excellent state of conservation of these bottles, suggest great tasting moments for this fantastic 1996 vintage.

Food and Wine Pairing: The 1996 Château La Violette pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, mature cheeses and truffle dishes. Its complexity and structure also make it a great tasting wine to enjoy alone or with friends.

A wine to taste at least once in your life, but for that, you have to find it.
