Tasting Notes
"Aromas of blueberry, minerals, flowers, and hints of brewed coffee. Sweet tobacco. Full bodied, with an amazing palate of intense dark fruits that verge on kir, but then a racy background of super fine tannins. Superb. Try after 2022."
98 points - James Suckling, Nov 2011
"The competition between the 2009, 2005 and 2000 La Conseillante will be interesting to follow over the next twenty years. There was more of a selection process at this estate in 2009 than there was in 2000, resulting in a beautiful Pomerol offering notes of mulberries, sweet cherries, spring flowers, raspberries and truffles. The color is a healthy deep plum/ruby/purple and the wine is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, a broad, layered mouthfeel and wonderful freshness as well as length. This gorgeous, complex, Burgundian-styled Pomerol will be drinkable in 4-6 years and should keep for 30-40. (The 1970 is still alive and that was not nearly as well made as the 2009.)"

The Producer
Château La Conseillante
The estate was acquired by Louis Nicolas in 1871, just before the Phylloxera blight, and once faced with devastation, he became one of the pioneers of carbon disulphide injections into the soil in 1878.
The estate remains the property of the Nicolas family to this day.
The estate consists of 12 hectares with the grape variety of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The annual production averages 4,000 cases of the Grand vin Château La Conseillante, and 1,000 cases of the second wine Duo de Conseillante.
Château La Conseillante, previously Château Conseillante and simply La Conseillante, is a Bordeaux wine from the appellation Pomerol. The winery is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Pomerol in the department Gironde. As all wine produced in this appellation, La Conseillante is unclassified, but the estate is estimated among the great growths of the region.
Placed on the eastern outskirts of Pomerol, the estate sits between Château Petit-Village, Vieux Château Certan and Château L'Évangile to the west, and eastern adjacent Saint-Émilion neighbour Château Cheval Blanc.
The château also produces a second wine named Duo de Conseillante.
The property, a métairie (English: small land holding) was inherited by Catherine Conseillan, a Libourne iron merchant, in 1734. In 1741, with an additional acquisition this was measured to be 23 hectares with less than 2 hectares under vine, but by 1754 she had joined the viticultural revolution like her neighbours Vieux Château Certan. By the time a modest house had been built to oversee the property, the estate had become known as 'La Conseillante'. Concerned that the estate would not be subdivided, she bequeathed it to a favourite niece, Marie Despujol.
