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
Situato sulla Sponda Destra di Bordeaux, Château La Conseillante è una delle proprietà più emblematiche di Pomerol. Con le sue origini che risalgono al Settecento, La Conseillante è di proprietà della famiglia Nicolas da quasi 150 anni e da allora è rimasta tale. Situate al confine con la denominazione di Saint-Émilion, vicino a quelle di L’Évangile e Cheval Blanc, i 18 lotti originali del vigneto si estendono su 12 ettari nel Pomerol orientale. Oggi, la quinta generazione, rappresentata da Bertrand e Jean-Valmy nel ruolo di amministratori delegati, continua a perseguire grandi livelli di eccellenza. Nel 2007 hanno presentato il secondo vino della tenuta, Duo de Conseillante e a partire dal 2012 hanno rinnovato le strutture di vinificazione per poter vinificare separatamente ciascuna superficie vitata. Il Grand Vin, La Conseillante, è un assemblaggio ben strutturato di Merlot e Cabernet Franc, complesso e ricco di frutti neri e spezie orientali. Tra i nomi più grandi di Pomerol, Château La Conseillante produce vini eccezionali con un grande senso di tradizione ancestrale.
