Château La Violette is a small wine estate in Pomerol that extends over a little more than 3 hectares of Merlot vines over 40 years old, on clay-limestone soils and a subsoil of iron dross, whose wines express themselves with a rare elegance and depth. The vineyard is located on the heights of the Pomerol plateau, between Château Trotanoy and Château Le Pin, a great exceptional terroir.

Catherine Péré-Vergé moved to Pomerol in 1985 when she acquired Château Montviel in the north-west of the appellation and undertook major efforts to modernise the estate. It then bought Château Le Gay in Pomerol and in 2005, Château La Violette, and Château La Gravière and Château Moulin La Gravière in Lalande-de-Pomerol. She is also one of the pioneers of French viticulture in Argentina, in the Mendoza region that is now famous all over the world. She died in 2013 and left the estates in the hands of her son, Henri Parent.
