96 Robert Parker
Composed of 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new and 30% one-year-old French oak, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 La Conseillante opens with reticent, earthy notes of dusty soil, garrigue, forest floor and iron ore with a core of warm plums, cassis, cigar boxes, star anise and dark chocolate plus a hint of violets. Medium to full-bodied with decadent fruit and a gorgeous plushness to the texture, the palate features impeccable poise and compelling depth, finishing on a lingering mineral note.

Lush notes of dark fig, boysenberry and blackberry pâte de fruit glide over ample but velvety tannins, with suave black tea and ganache accents. This is long and should be gorgeous when finished.—J.M.

81 % Merlot, 19 % Cabernet Franc. Selten hatte ein La Consteillante als Fassprobe eine solch dunkle Farbe. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Wunderbares Brombeer-Schokobouquet, weit ausladend und mit schönen Würzkomponenten. Im Gaumen merkt man den floralen Part des Cabernet Franc, samtene Textur, eine wunderschöne, malzige Süsse im füllig-schmelzigen Extrakt aufzeigend, elegant ausklingend. Er könnte noch einen Punkt zulegen mit der Reife. 18/20 2023 – 2044

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.
