The 2020 Château La Conseillante is a blend composed of 87% Merlot, complemented by 13% Cabernet Franc, aged in 70% new French oak barrels. Undoubtedly on par with the exceptional 2019 vintage, it reveals an incredible nose of pure blue fruits, cassis, violets, spring flowers, and truffle. On the palate, it boasts a full-bodied, seamlessly integrated structure, displaying remarkable elegance and layers of flavours. Perfectly integrated tannins, the vibrant and focused style of the vintage, impeccable balance, and a stunning finish further contribute to its allure. Available here in half-bottles.
The 2020 La Conseillante was bottled in the beginning of June. This takes time to unfurl in the glass, blackberry and iris, touches of black truffle and cigar humidor, all beautifully defined. The Cabernet Franc, despite constituting a minor part of the blend plays a major role in the aromatics, lending a touch of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, here, the Merlot taking over the steering wheel, fresh and saline, a discreet touch of white pepper mixed with sage and a hint of graphite. Quite persistent in the mouth yet I feel this might close up for a time in bottle. It`s quite a serious wine, less flamboyant than the previous vintage, one for hardcore Pomerol aficionados. This is a La Conseillante for long-term ageing. Superb. - Neil Martin

Chateau La Conseillante

Chateau La Conseillante

Situated on the eastern flank of the Pomerol commune, La Conseillante has a long history dating back the early 1700s. The team farms around 13 hectares of vineyards, comprising 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. All grapes are hand harvested, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with a keen eye on temperature control to preserve fruit character. Following fermentation, the wines are aged in 90% new oak for around 18 months before being bottled without filtration. 

The vineyards of La Conseillante share borders with those of L'Evangile, Petit-Village, Vieux Château Certan and Cheval Blanc - illustrious neighbours indeed. Since the 2000 vintage, the wines have been characterised by a fullness and concentration that easily allows for extended cellaring and offers a hedonistic treat in youth.
