As a standout within the realm of top-tier Pomerol wines, the prestigious Château La Conseillante commands authority over a 12-hectare vineyard, with 9.77 hectares dedicated to production. The vines, averaging 35 years in age, thrive in the heart of the appellation, rooted in grey clay and sandy gravel soils. Comprising 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 vintage combines vibrant fruit and refined tannins, encapsulating balance, freshness, and finesse.

The 2021 La Conseillante is bright, fresh and fruity, with lovely red fruit character and fine balance. Crushed berries, rose petal, lavender, chalk, mint and spice are beautifully delineated. In 2021, La Conseillante is a Pomerol of tension, nerve and delicacy more than volume. Time in the glass brings out bright floral notes that extend the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in French oak—70% new, 27% once-filled barrels and 3% amphora. The 2021 is such a classy wine. I can't wait to see how it ages. The 2021 possesses a Burgundian sense of structure, for lack of a better term. Harvest started on September 28 for the Merlots, very late by recent standards, through October 1. The Cabernets were picked on October 6 and 12. The alcohol (13%) and pH (3.6) readings are those from another era. Antonio Galloni27th February 2024

2021 is the 150th anniversary of La Conseillante. This vintage was harvested between the 28th of September and the 12th of October and is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and it leaps from the glass with notes of wild blueberries, raspberry coulis, and kirsch, leading to nuances of red roses, clove oil, underbrush, and charcoal, plus a touch of wild thyme. The light to medium-bodied palate is satiny, smooth and refreshing, delivering vivacious red and blue fruit layers, with a long finish and suggestions of fragrant earth.Lisa Perrotti-Brown23rd April 2024

Tasted blind. Smudgy rim. Smooth and sweet but without much subtlety. Very unevolved. Difficult to judge how this will mature. Very drying on the end at the moment. (JR)

First Class Pomerol

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.
