La Violette du Manoir Cotes de Castillon 2017 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Bordeaux
R365
‘A very tight, refined red with wonderful, fine tannins that are so creamy and finessed. Feels like wonderful silk. Medium-to full-bodied, fresh and vivid. Complex and reserved. A beautiful young red. Drink in 2023.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/100
‘Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Violette sails out of the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, blueberry preserves and blackberry pie plus suggestions of spice cake, chocolate box and powdered cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with a firm, fine-grained frame and long, fragrant finish. 2022 - 2042’ – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, 94/100
‘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. 2027 - 2040’ – Jane Anson, Decanter, 92/100
