La Conseillante boasts an outstanding performance in the vineyard and cellar in perhaps every challenging vintage. The perfect flavour structure is built on a perfectly balanced harmony of fruit, acidity and tannins. The flavour base is composed of currant and black cherry flavours and the palate has great dynamism, driven by the interplay of perfectly matched tannins. La Conseillante 2011 offers an elegant style to anoint.

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.
