Château LA CONSEILLANTE
Red
- 2009
- Pomerol
Delicately perfumed (the aromatic bouquet is always very floral, with violets and peonies in the lead) and elegantly suave whatever the vintage, La Conseillante occupies a special place among the greatest Pomerols, perhaps the most endearing of them. Its finesse and superiorly sensual and refined texture are reminiscent of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits (on the Vosne-Romanée side). However, behind the apparent friendliness of La Conseillante lies a wine of great energy and excellent ageing potential.

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “2021 is at first more earthy, with notes of small forest berries, Armenian paper and rose berry, but it quickly opens up to blue fruit baskets. In a lacy style, it will be ready in four to five years. ”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 96/100 “The 2021 Conseillante is bright, fresh and fruity, with lovely red fruit character and fine balance. Crushed berries, rose petal, lavender, chalk, mint,and psice are beautifully delineated. In 2021, La Conseillante is a Pomerol of tension, nerve and delicacy more than volume. Time in the glass brings out bright floral notes that extend the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in French oak - 70 new, 27% once-filled barrels and 3% amphora. The 2021 is such a classy wine. I can't wait to see how it ages. The 2021 possesses a Burgundian sense of structure, for lack of a better term. Harvest started on September 28 for the Merlots, very late by recent standards, through October 1. The Cabernets were picked on October 6 and 12. The alcohol (13%) and pH (3.6) readings are those from another era.”

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 92/100 “La Conseillante 2014 presents a wonderful bouquet with aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, faded rose petals, salty licorice and violet[...] The new oak is now fully absorbed and the finish is precise and reasonably persistent.”
