93/100 Drink: 2009 - 2024 The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and licorice. A broad, savory, seductive, full-bodied mouthfeel with superb ripeness, silky tannins, and terrific complexity make this an ethereal style of Pomerol. A must taste. Drink it over the next 15+ years. 17.5/20 Drink 2014-22 Very dark crimson. Racy nose – more lift and fragrance than the Saint-Émilions (the first Pomerol I tasted blind after dozens of Saint-Émilions blind). Not at all forced but very opulent and very Pomerol. Rich and velvety with good, fresh acidity. In the top rank of Pomerols. Lots of concentrated tannins. Attractive succulence and sweetness on the palate. Very round and successful. Not big and heavy but beautifully balanced and very healthy. Juicy and fruity! Only light to medium weight at this stage. 89-9/100 Drink - I still find this nose rather disjointed and lacking intensity. Black cherries, hint of marmalade and quince. I cannot see where it is going. Soft entry, a voluptuous, sensuous palate but I maintain that it needs more backbone and structure for it lacks persistency and grip on the finish. This remains a perplexing Pomerol from one of its best exponents. Tasted February 2008. |

The name « La Conseillante » first appeared in the middle of the 18th century. The property was named after Catherine Conseillan, who ran the estate 300 years ago. In 1871, the Nicolas family bought the domaine which has remained unchanged since. The wine label of “Les Heritiers Nicolas” shows a shield with a silver border enclosing the letter “N” and a violet cap, which represents the flavor of the wine. These images, chosen by the Nicolas brothers in 1871, remain elegantly relevant as we enter the 21st Century. At La Conseillante, each parcel is managed individually at every stage of the winemaking process, thanks to the vats of varying capacities.
