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.

Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening. Delicate floral nuances of candied violets, a hint of blackberries and sour cherries, some cloves, a hint of sour cherries and mandarin zest. Juicy, highly elegant, delicate extract sweetness, silky tannins, finesse-rich acidity, harmonious and already so well developed that one would like to start enjoying it immediately, great length, finesse and sure maturity potential. Fascinating.
Violets, lilacs, and chocolate drizzles, followed by plums, black cherries, blue fruits, licorice, smoke, and truffles, create the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is pure silk, velvet, and cashmere, perfectly suited to the seemingly endless waves of sweet, bright, plush fruits, with their freshness, elegance, and stunning sense of purity. The finish lingers past the 60-second mark and keeps going long after the wine has gone where it needs to be. One of the keys to the success of the dry 2025 vintage began a few years in advance, with the addition of compost to the vineyards, aiding water retention, helping the fruit gain maturity, and increasing yields. The wine blends 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon along with 8% press wine. 13.5% ABV, 3.66 pH. The harvest took place from August 28 to September 17. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030 to 2065.
The 2025 La Conseillante is another brilliant wine in the making for this Pomerol reference point. Wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe mulberries and blackberries mingled with hints of violets and truffle, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and unctuous, with lively acids, ultra-refined tannins and a long, floral finish. It's a blend of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon (from new plantings that already make it into the blend) that attained 13.5% alcohol. Fermentations were capped at 26 degrees Celsius, the coolest ever, to extract selectively, and the entire production is maturing in barriques this year.
