Description
The sensual elegance of a sumptuously accomplished Pomerol wine
The estate
A true legend of the Pomerol appellation, the Château La Conseillante is one of the most beautiful references of the Right Bank, in the Bordeaux region. Entered into the fold of the Nicolas family in 1871, Château La Conseillante has crossed the centuries by shining with its exceptional crus.
The vineyard
The 11.8 hectares of the prestigious Château La Conseillante vineyard are planted on gray clay and sandy gravel soils in the heart of Pomerol. The vines are about 35 years old.
The vintage
An early and challenging vintage, 2017 saw La Conseillante triumph, a true success considered one of the greatest Pomerols of that year.
The work and daily attention brought by the technical team orchestrated by the talented Marielle Cazeaux can only inspire admiration. Low-altitude helicopter flyovers of the vineyard plots to stir the air, braziers placed in the vines, at the cost of extreme measures never taken before, Château La Conseillante was able to get through the hardships of the frost at the end of April, lamenting 2 hectares affected located at the bottom of the plateau. With extreme attention, the teams then proceeded to mark the vine feet, identifying those of the first and second generation. This constant demand was then illustrated in the extreme precision of the vinifications, in order to transcribe the most beautiful expression of each plot of the lots entering the composition of the Grand Vin.
Blend
85% merlot, 15% cabernet franc.
Characteristics and tasting advice for Château La Conseillante 2017
Tasting
Nose
Sophisticated and pure, the aromatic bouquet is discovered on the freshness of notes of small red fruits, cherry and plum, enhanced by a touch of licorice, adorned with its floral style with scents of violet that makes the signature of the domain.
Palate
An attack of exquisite refinement precedes a palate with silky velvetiness. Without losing in intensity, the palate evolves in a perfect tension between the structure of the tannic frame and the softness of the fruit to stretch in the length of a finish full of nobility and energy. A magnificent expression of the vintage in a dazzlingly classy Pomerol.
