Chateau La Conseillante is an esteemed estate located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. The property was acquired in 1871 by the Nicolas family, who have managed the 12-hectare vineyard for five generations while maintaining its original layout and mosaic of plots. The estate's philosophy focuses on a commitment to quality and sustainability, utilizing precision winemaking and plot-by-plot vinification to preserve its unique terroir of blue clay and gravel.

Wine Description

This wine presents a deep garnet-purple colour and an exquisitely pure bouquet featuring striking aromas of raspberries, dark cherries, and blueberries, interwoven with notes of crushed violets, raw cocoa, and sweet soil tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated yet maintains incredible finesse and a seamless, satin-textured middle. It displays vibrant black fruit flavours supported by spicy notes and ultra-fine, perfectly judged tannins that lead to a long, driven finish.
