A wine after which perhaps every man must start writing poetry. Complex, beautiful, wrapped in the fine, densely woven threads of Merlot. Yet beneath the thick layer of velvet lies powerful potential in the form of perfectly ripe tannins.

Château La Conseillante
Château La Conseillante is located in the eastern part of the Pomerol appellation, on the border with Saint-Émilion, with neighboring estates including Vieux Château Certan and Château L’Évangile.
Château La Conseillante is considered a Bordeaux legend, partly due to its family atmosphere. Today, it is managed alternately by two brothers—Jean-Valmy and Bertrand Nicolas. The estate's unchanged and undisturbed terroir for 140 years, along with the high quality of its wines, also contributes to its legendary status.
An admirably full, rounded, velvety, and very delicate Merlot is complemented by Cabernet Franc, which adds red fruit, strengthens the structure, and broadens the aromatic range. In the wine, you can find many fruity tones, chocolate, and truffles, but most notably, the scent of violets—hence the purple color in Château La Conseillante's coat of arms.
