Velvet nectar. Even stronger, more delicious and more enticing than in other vintages. It's all in such perfect, harmonious shape that you don't even want to believe the hidden power. A deep opaque ruby colour. Lovely rich, ripe aromas of currant, coffee and bitter liquorice. The flavour profile has concentration of liquorice, chocolate notes and silky smooth tannins. The acidity is good and the alcohol is balanced and warm. Long finish.

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.
