Château La Conseillante er indbegrebet af finesse og klassisk Pomerol-elegance. Beliggende mellem Château L’Évangile og Cheval Blanc – med én fod i Pomerol og én i Saint-Émilion – har La Conseillante en af de mest privilegerede placeringer i Bordeaux.
Ejendommen blev grundlagt i midten af 1700-tallet og har siden 1871 været ejet og drevet af familiens Nicolas – hvilket gør La Conseillante til en af de sjældne Bordeaux-ejendomme med uafbrudt familieejerskab gennem over 150 år. Under ledelse af Jean-Valmy Nicolas og teknisk direktør Marielle Cazaux har slottet i de seneste år gennemgået en modernisering, som har løftet kvaliteten til nye højder.
Vinmarkerne strækker sig over 12 hektar og er primært beplantet med Merlot (ca. 80%) og Cabernet Franc (ca. 20%), fordelt på lerholdige og grusede jorde, hvilket giver vinene både dybde og friskhed. I kælderen arbejdes med stor præcision, inklusive parcelvinifikation, gravitationssystem og en kombination af ståltanke, beton og foudres.
Stilen er kendetegnet ved blomstrende aromatik, fløjlsblød struktur og en nærmest burgundisk elegance – med noter af viol, kirsebær, trøffel og kakao. La Conseillante er en vin, der både appellerer i sin ungdom og har bemærkelsesværdigt lagringspotentiale.
Ejendommens karakteristiske lilla etiket og kapsel blev indført i 1871 og afspejler vinens raffinerede personlighed og traditionsrige identitet.

The 2022 La Conseillante is just as exquisite in bottle as it was en primeur. Wafting from the glass with an exotic bouquet of mulberries, black raspberries and plums mingled with notions of black truffle, burning embers, violets, mint and licorice, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a fleshy, even unctuous core of fruit underpinned by a broad chassis of sweet, powdery and perfectly integrated tannin. This is the most lavish, sensual La Conseillante of the last decade, with the most texture and density, yet it remains unerringly precise and harmonious. It's a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc.
The freshness and aromatics are really beautiful. Flowers such as orange blossoms with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, this has ultrafine tannins that run the length of the wine and caress every inch. Very elegant and vivid at the end. Such refinement and loveliness for the vintage. 87% merlot and 13% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.
The 2022 La Conseillante is a gorgeous, racy wine. Pliant and super-expressive, La Conseillante is positively stellar. The 2022 is a vertical, statuesque Conseillante. As alluring as the 2022 is at this stage, it also clearly needs cellaring to be at its finest. Time in the glass releases the aromatics, along with brisk acids that keep things in check. Blood orange, lavender, spice, menthol and espresso linger on the sustained finish. Technical Director Marielle Cazaux turned out what is quite possibly the most elegant wine in Pomerol. The 2022 is one of my favorite recent vintages here. The 2022 was harvested from September 5th for Merlots through to the 20th, when the last Cabernet Franc was brought in. It was aged in 70% new wood, 27% once-filled barrels and 3% amphora.
