98 Robert Parker
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.

97 James Suckling
A dense, layered Pomerol with lots of chocolate, walnut, and plum character. Some coffee undertones. It’s full-bodied with chewy, polished tannins and a structured, muscular finish. Solid. Elegance with power. 2018. Try after 2025.

Château La Conseillante
Plantée sur la Rive Droite de Bordeaux, voilà l’une des propriétés les plus emblématiques de Pomerol. Puisant ses origines au 18ème siècle, le Château La Conseillante appartient à la même famille, les Nicolas, depuis environ 150 ans, phénomène plutôt rare. Situées sur la frontière avec Saint-Emilion, mitoyennes des vignobles de L’Evangile et Cheval Blanc, les parcelles originelles de vignes s’étendent sur 12 hectares dans la partie orientale de Pomerol. Représentant la cinquième génération, Bertrand et Jean-Valmy codirigent la propriété et poursuivent la même quête d’excellence que leurs ancêtres. En 2007, ils ont lancé le second vin, Duo de Conseillante, et en 2012 ont entrepris la rénovation des installations de vinification pour permettre la vinification séparée de chaque parcelle. Le grand vin, La Conseillante, est un assemblage de merlot et de cabernet franc, doté d’une structure ferme mais aussi de complexité et d’une abondance de fruits noirs et d’épices d’Orient. Illustre représentant de Pomerol, Château La Conseillante propose chaque année des vins d’exception particulièrement fidèles aux traditions ancestrales.
