Château La Conseillante
Description
Data of interest
Château La Conseillante is one of the most important wineries in Pomerol. The Bordeaux estate owes its name to Catherine Conseillan, an influential woman who owned the property in the mid-18th century. In 1871, the Nicolas family acquired the château, along with its 12 hectares of vineyards, an area that has remained unchanged to this day, becoming one of its distinguishing features.
Today, the fifth generation of the Nicolas family manages the estate, which, since 2013, has benefited from the consultancy of the renowned winemaker Michel Rolland, who also hails from Pomerol.
Located in the eastern part of the appellation, on the border with Saint-Émilion, Château La Conseillante's vineyard is dominated by merlot, the “black pearl” of Pomerol and, by extension, the rive droite. 80% of the vines, with an average age of 30 years, planted across the 18 micro-plots that make up the vineyard, belong to this variety, while the remaining 20% are cabernet franc. The former grow in clay soils, while the latter thrive on gravel. Rational viticulture, focused on achieving optimal ripeness, yield control, continuous replanting, meticulous sorting, and custom vinification of the fruit from each micro-plot contribute to Château La Conseillante's absolutely unique style. Indeed, its red wines, both its grand vin and Duo de Conseillante, the second label, stand out for their harmony, complexity, and finesse.
