Francis Nicolas erzählte mir zu diesem Wein: Eine grosse Wolke zog auf und hagelte praktisch auf La Conseillante nieder, ohne auch nur ein Hagelkorn auf Pétrus oder Cheval Blanc abzuwerfen! Innerhalb einer Stunde wurden somit 40 % der Ernte vernichtet.84: Dies wäre ein Super-Einstieg für Weingeniesser, welche die Nase voll haben von teuren (schlechten) Burgunderweinen und vor den Bordeaux eine Art Schwellenangst besitzen. Entwickelt nach einer halben Stunde einen feinen Kräuterton und Tabaknoten. 93: Wiederum an einer La Conseillante-Probe mit dem Besitzer Francis Nicolas degustiert: Ein Kalifornier! Voll von Eucalyptus, Preiselbeeren und Passionsfrucht (?). Im Gaumen trockene Tannine und Aromen eines Stags Leap oder Ridge, York Creek. Ein etwas eigenwilliger, aber durchaus gefälliger Esswein. 16/20 vorbei

This wine is approaching the end of its useful life. The wine still has La Conseillante’s aromatic fireworks (cedar, cigar smoke, Provencal herbs, pepper, licorice, and some decaying vegetation). However, considerable amber is at the edge of the wine, and the wine exhibits low acidity, some rather nasty tannins in the finish, and fades very quickly in the glass. It has been fully mature since the late eighties and, unless it is coming from large format bottles, needs to be drunk up immediately. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/02.

Château La Conseillante
Located on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château La Conseillante is one of the most emblematic properties in Pomerol. With its roots tracing back to the 1700s, La Conseillante has been under the ownership of the Nicolas family for just about 150 years, and has uniquely remained unchanged ever since. Situated on the appellation’s boundary with Saint- Émilion, bordering those of L’Évangile and Cheval Blanc, the original 18 plots of vineyards stretch across 12-hectares in eastern Pomerol. Today, fifth generation Bertrand and Jean-Valmy as the joint managing directors, carry on to pursue higher levels of excellence. In 2007, they released the estate’s second wine, Duo de Conseillante. And by 2012 they renovated their winemaking facilities to allow for separate vinification of each vineyard holding. The Grand Vin, La Conseillante is a firmly structured Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend that is equally complex and rich of dark fruits and oriental spices. One of Pomerol’s greatest names, Château La Conseillante consistently produces five-star wines with a great sense of ancestral tradition.
