Château La ConseillantePomerol 2010
About this product
A producer whose status in Pomerol is high and widely regarded, Chateau La Conseillante draws on history dating back to the mid 18th century and a site that meshes the best of Pomerol's eastern plateau with proximity to St Emillion. The wine tends to be Merlot dominant with Cabernet Franc the next majority partner in a blend that sees 90% new oak in the winemaking. It's a serious, brooding wine of depth and concentration, with layered concentration and firm, guiding tannins. Exceptional from 2010.

A brilliant effort from this property, known for the sheer elegance and finesse of its wines, the 2010 La Conseillante offers back-to-back monumental efforts, particularly given the remarkable 2009. This estate has been on a hot streak of late. The 2010 is a slightly bigger, richer wine, but without losing its floral, elegant mulberry, black raspberry and sweet kirsch notes. Combine those with some licorice, subtle new oak and a hint of forest floor, and the result is a medium to full-bodied, rich, complex wine that has striking aromatics and perfect balance in the mouth. Forget it for 3-5 years and drink it over the following 30.
