Château LA CONSEILLANTE
Red

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.

Bettane+Desseauve : 98/100 “The power of the vintage has been perfectly restrained. Ripe black fruits, floral notes and Sichuan pepper combine to create a great wine with a distinct character: silky, taut, deep and exceptionally refined.”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 96-98/100 “The 2025 La Conseillante is shaping up to be magnificent. Rich and luscious in the glass, the 2025 offers up an exotic mélange of inky dark fruit, cloves, new leather, licorice and mocha. This is the first vintage that sees the return of Cabernet Sauvignon, historically a part of the blend from at least 1871 to 1956, when frost devastated many vineyards in Pomerol. "

La Revue du Vin de France : 96-97/100 “Marielle Cazaux plays the elegance card and clearly offers a standout interpretation within the appellation. La Conseillante captivates with its refined aromas and its powdery, precise and well-integrated tannins. The salty finish highlights an ethereal, velvety texture and great length.” ”

Vinous (N. Martin): 95-97/100 “The 2025 La Conseillante has a very pure nose with black cherries, blueberry and wild strawberry fruit, just a little Burgundy-like in style. A hint of orange rind loiters in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, quite linear and strict on the entry, gentle grip with a dash of black pepper towards the finish. A second glass that happened to have been opened for an hour revealed some of its opulence that will surely be enhanced during the élevage. It will deserve four to five years in bottle but will have a long life ahead and will give a lot of pleasure."
