Chateau La Conseillante Description
Discover the epitome of elegance with Chateau La Conseillante Pomerol, a wine that defines the very essence of its region. With a 300-year legacy, La Conseillante offers an incomparable expression of the Pomerol terroir. Nestled on the Catusseau plateau, our vineyard showcases a rare patchwork of soil types, masterfully tended for generations. Developed by Marielle Cazaux and consultant Michel Rolland, this wine captures the nuanced characteristics of each vine plot through individualized harvesting, vinification, and aging. Relish a glass where Merlot entwines with Cabernet Franc to create a velvety texture, bold aroma, and unparalleled finesse.
Upon first sip, be greeted by a luxurious bouquet of black cherries, plums, and delicate hints of violet. Earthy undertones of truffle and wet soil reveal themselves as the wine opens, testament to the diverse clays that nurture our vines. The palate offers a sumptuous blend of richness and smooth tannins, leaving an enduring finish that echoes notes of cocoa and cedar.
La Conseillante is a symphony in a bottle, best savored with dishes that enhance its complexity. Enjoy with filet mignon or duck confit, garnished with a cherry reduction. For a vegetarian alternative, consider a wild mushroom risotto. Either way, the flavors come alive, creating a gastronomic experience you won't soon forget.
Pomerol just would not be Pomerol without La Conseillante at its heart. Experience a wine crafted by generations of vision and savoir-faire. Cheers!

Deep garnet-purple colored, incredible perfume of black raspberries, boysenberries, ripe plums and cinnamon toast, leading to notions of lilacs, clove oil and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate of bright, crunchy red and black fruits, supported by a rock-solid frame of firm, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long

The 2018 La Conseillante is composed of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc, with a 3.65 pH and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a lot of swirling and coaxing to lure out the youthfully shy, incredible perfume of black raspberries, boysenberries, ripe plums and cinnamon toast, leading to notions of lilacs, clove oil and forest floor, plus a waft of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is a jaw-dropping exercise in finesse, slowly unfurling in the mouth to reveal layer upon layer of bright, crunchy red and black fruits, supported by a rock-solid frame of firm, fine-grained tannin's and tons of freshness, finishing long and with an impressive mineral and exotic spice firework display. It's an incredible expression of Pomerol that cannot fail to inspire a resounding "WOW" from whoever is fortunate to drink it. Tempting to broach now (albeit with a lot of air), try to keep your hands off it for a good 5 years and then drink it over the next 30 years or more.

This is beautiful and powers through the palate showing depth and concentration to the brambled fruit. It has an excellent mid palate, the truffle of Pomerol comes through at this young stage in a way that was not evident in the 2015 even, but here has a lovely seductive kick. Spicy vanilla bean and black pepper alongside touches of cinnamon, this is very good quality. 70% new oak, 3% in amphora for the first time. Drinking Window 2025 - 2045
