The Wine Advocate

"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Violette is a little reticent to begin, unfurling to give crushed blackberries and blackcurrants notes with touches of forest floor, truffles, cast iron pan and star anise. The palate is exquisitely balanced and intense, with firm, ripe tannins and seamless freshness framing the rock-solid, muscular fruit, finishing very long."

Decanter Magazine

"A good display of house signature here - tight, firm, bright and intense. This is very much about tight, layered flavours of dark blackberry and cassis coulis. It's clearly well made, with real focus and power - a good vintage for these guys that will take its time."

Jeff Leve

"Deep in color, the nose opens up with licorice, espresso, dark red berry and plum aromatics. Full bodied, opulent, silky, sweet and fresh, the wine shows a bit more purity and freshness than you'll find in Le Gay this vintage. Give it six, eight or even 10 years in the cellar and this could be sublime! Produced from 100% old vine Merlot, the wine reached 13.5% alcohol. The harvest took place September 19 to September 25."

James Suckling

"This shows substantial fruit and tannin concentration with plenty of dark-berry and dark-chocolate character. Full body, a rounded texture and a delicious finish. A wine that will please in its youth."

Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2017 La Violette is another silky, elegant effort that has a Burgundian flare. Black cherries, blueberries, violets, white flowers, and spice characteristics all emerge from this seamless 2017 that is as classy, silky and pure as they come. Total class and up with the crème de la crème of the vintage."

"From the same team as Chateau Le Gay, the ultra-tiny production 2017 Chateau La Violette is all Merlot that's raised in new French oak. This sexy, plush, yet super-elegant Pomerol boasts a deep purple/ruby hue, loads of exotic red, black, and blue fruits, notes of violets and spring flowers, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish. It's a stunning effort that's up with the creme de la creme of the vintage."

Wine Spectator

"A bold style, with warm ganache and blackberry preserve flavors filling out the core nicely, while fruitcake and incense accents score the finish. Flashy, and will have fans for sure.—J.M."

VINOUS

"The 2017 La Violette has a very precise bouquet with blackberry and raspberry scents, a touch of iris developing in the glass. This year I certainly find more complexity here than its sibling Le Gay. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a little savory compared to other recent vintages with a soft, velvety finish that feels pure and caressing. This is a delicious La Violette that is less ostentatious than recent vintages and frankly, all the better for it."

"The 2017 La Violette is no doubt a fabulous wine. But it could have been so much more than that. It could have been epic. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, crème de cassis, mint, licorice and French oak are all amped up in a dense, powerful and super-concentrated Pomerol. The greatness of this terroir is almost completely masked by the super-extracted style. Floral notes add lift on the finish, but I can only think of what could have been."
