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. ”

The 2014 vintage is rated 92/100 by N. Martin "La Conseillante 2014 has a wonderful bouquet with aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, faded rose petals, salty liquorice and violets...The new oak is now fully absorbed and the finish is precise and reasonably persistent. " (February 2024)
