About this product
Château La Conseillante has enjoyed spectacular success in recent times, with major renovations resulting in a rise in quality. There are no classifi ed estates in Pomerol, but if there were, this wine could be a Premier Grand Cru. It's plummy and rich, with wonderful density of fruit and velvety tannins. It was considered by many wine critics as a standout of the vintage.

An absolutely amazing wine from the Nicolas family, this is from another estate in Pomerol that is pushing the envelope to higher and higher quality. The final blend has moved to smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, now approximately 20%, with the balance 80% Merlot. Through crop-thinning, yields have been reduced to an average of 35 hectoliters per hectare. Inky bluish/purple color and stunning sweet tannins embrace a full-bodied opulent Pomerol with beautiful, floral-infused black raspberry, blueberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, yet elegant, this is a brilliant marriage between finesse and power. Stunningly pure, this wine can be drunk young or age magnificently for 20 or more years.
