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. As A. Galloni (Vinous) wrote for the 2018 vintage (rated 98/100) "It is, in a word: dynamite!".

The 2018 vintage is rated 98/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Texture ravissante dès l'entrée en bouche, puis le vin se développe très charnu au milieu, avec beaucoup de classe dans le toucher et de profondeur dans la saveur. Vivant, fondant, aérien, il évolue noble sur une longue finale où on reste coi. Superbe. » (Feb. 2020)
