100 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe 2022 La Conseillante is just as exquisite in bottle as it was en primeur. Wafting from the glass with an exotic bouquet of mulberries, black raspberries and plums mingled with notions of black truffle, burning embers, violets, mint and licorice, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a fleshy, even unctuous core of fruit underpinned by a broad chassis of sweet, powdery and perfectly integrated tannin. This is the most lavish, sensual La Conseillante of the last decade, with the most texture and density, yet it remains unerringly precise and harmonious. It's a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc. Drinking window: 2027 - 2055. William Kelley. March 2025.

100 100DecanterThe best La Conseillante I’ve tasted. Intensely fragrant: blackcurrants, cherries, roses, violets. Juicy, bright and alive, with acidity lifting the expression. Many Pomerols bring power and spice; this is relaxed and silky, with summer berries and a cooling finish of blueberries, liquorice, crushed stones, slate and minty cola. A captivating wine in which every element sings in harmony. Vibrant, joyful and delicious now, but destined to age beautifully. Effortless winemaking from Marielle Cazeau. 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Drinking window: 2029 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. December 2024.

99 100Yves Beck87% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc La Conseillante 2022 commence par souligner son côté floral avec des notes de pivoines et de violettes, avant de révéler des nuances de baies noires mûres et une touche de pralinés en arrière-plan. Au fil des minutes, le bouquet met encore plus en avant son côté floral, son authenticité, ses particularités. Avant d’être un 2022, c’est surtout La Conseillante ! Alors que le bouquet laisse présager beaucoup de charme, le palais recentre le débat en affichant, avant tout, de la fraîcheur, de la finesse, presque un côté aérien, qui ne fait que prédécéder une puissance sereine, une force tranquille avec pour énergie une austérité autant structurante que rafraîchissante. Les tannins confèrent de la vigueur d’une manière certes autoritaire, mais surtout attentionnée, pertinente et constructive. 2028-2047. Décembre 2024.

98 100Jean-Marc QuarinCouleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, mûr, subtil et complexe. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, avec de la classe dans le toucher, du corps, le vin progresse encore en finale, où il s'achève profond, long, sur des nuances de fruits noirs ; le tout avec une grande douceur délicieuse. Assemblage : 87 % merlot, 13 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 14° - pH : 3,6. Rendement : 33 hl/ha. Avril 2023.

Château La Conseillante
A benchmark of the Pomerol appellation, Château La Conseillante has embodied Right Bank excellence for over three centuries. Owned by the Nicolas family since 1871, this 12-hectare estate lies on the border with Saint-Émilion, neighbouring Pétrus and Cheval Blanc.
Planted on clay and gravel soils interlaced with iron-rich subsoils (“crasses de fer”), the vineyard produces a grand vin dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Celebrated for its elegance, silky texture and distinctive violet bouquet, it fully expresses the finesse of great Pomerol wines.
