The Château La Conseillante is among the elite of the greatest Pomerol wines, leaving no wine lover indifferent. It was Catherine Conseillan who, in 1735, decided to give her name to this already renowned Domaine, whose neighbors include no less famous Châteaux such as l'Evangile, Pétrus and Cheval Blanc.
In 1871, the property was acquired by the Nicolas family and today, Jean-Valmy Bertrand Nicolas represent the fifth generation to produce a great wine whose reputation has crossed borders.
The Château La Conseillante is planted on 12 hectares of vines on soils of grey clay and sandy gravel with a subsoil of red clay due to the presence of iron dross, conferring a unique singularity to the wines.
The grape varieties are 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet franc. The wines are aged for an average of 18 months in French oak barrels, 50 to 70% of which are new. 3% of production is aged in amphorae.
The estate produces a Second wine, Duo de La Conseillante, which offers another facet of this exceptional terroir.
The Château La Conseillante delivers quite exceptional wines, renowned for being silky, elegant and balanced in power, marked by a finesse and mineral touch found nowhere else.
