In Portrait:

Château La Violette

Château La Violette is one of Pomerol’s most exclusive and smallest estates – an almost mythical boutique cru. Its few hectares of terroir lie on the coveted Pomerol plateau and are marked by fine iron-rich clay and gravelly topsoils. This combination ensures perfect water regulation, deep rooting and exceptional aromatic concentration. Pure Merlot forms the heart of the wine: fragrant, sensual and shaped by characteristic violet and iris notes that give the estate its name. Vinification is carried out in tiny lots with meticulous care and the strictest selection. The result is exceptionally elegant, luxurious and rare wine with great depth, silky texture and remarkable longevity – true Pomerol jewels.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
