Chateau La Conseillante
First Class Pomerol
Situated on the eastern flank of the Pomerol commune, La Conseillante has a long history dating back to the early 1700s. The team farms around 12 hectares of vineyards, comprising 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. All grapes are hand harvested, and fermentation takes place in concrete vats with a keen eye on temperature control to preserve fruit character. Following fermentation, the wines are aged in mostly 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.
