Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“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 tannins 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.”
Located in the heart of Pomerol, Château La Conseillante embodies the elegance and precision characteristic of the fine wines of this appellation. Owned by the Nicolas family since the 19th century, the estate covers 11.8 hectares of exceptional terroir, divided between grey clay, sandy gravel and red clay. This unique soil, combined with grape varieties dominated by Merlot (80%) and complemented by Cabernet Franc (20%), gives the wines remarkable depth and complexity.
