THE BOTTLE CAPSULE IS DAMAGED
ROBERT PARKER ” One of the big stories in 2006 is the resurrection of this once very good Pomerol estate now that it has been purchased by Catherine Pere-Verge, who has done so much to raise the level of quality at Chateau Le Gay. From a vineyard well-situated between Le Pin and Trotanoy, La Violette’s 2006 is a 100% Merlot cuvee that is running on all cylinders. Considering some of the great old vintages from the fifties and sixties, it is not surprising to find beautiful purity, fine tannins, and loads of sweet raspberry, black cherry, licorice, and earth notes in this medium-bodied, opulent, luscious effort. It should drink well for 15-20+ years. A brilliant effort! “

Key Features & Benefits

The result is a wine of unparalleled depth, characterized by complex aromas and a supple yet structured palate. This vintage’s limited production enhances its exclusivity, appealing to collectors seeking not only refinement but also significant appreciation potential.
Heritage & Collectibility
Chateau La Violette’s legacy as one of Pomerol’s most prestigious estates elevates this 2006 bottling to elite status. Known for producing wines of intense concentration and longevity, the estate’s painstaking vineyard management and boutique scale ensure rarity—typically fewer than 3,000 cases annually.
This scarcity, combined with rising global demand, reinforces its position as a top-tier collectible. Connoisseurs and investors alike recognize Chateau La Violette 2006 as a lasting symbol of Bordeaux excellence and a wise addition to an investment portfolio.

For optimal enjoyment, decant for at least an hour and serve at 16-18°C. Store in a cool, stable environment to preserve its complexity. This vintage pairs exquisitely with gourmet dishes such as rack of lamb, truffle-infused risotto, or aged hard cheeses, elevating any fine dining experience.
