The Story

The name “La Conseillante” appeared in the middle of the 18th century, when the influential Catherine Conseillan, who owned the property, decided to endow the estate with her name.

In 1871, the Nicolas family acquired La Conseillante, whose surface area (12 hectares – 30 acres) and plots have not evolved since, enabling the estate to hold on to its exceptional qualities. In 1960, Louis Nicolas’ heirs formed the Société Civile des Héritiers ...

Wine Information

Conseillante 2009 has the particularity to taste outstandingly since its first moments. The characteristic of this vintage lies in the silkiness and the very premature integration of the tannins and by their perception on the palate. Very powerful, the latter presents nevertheless no dryness or astringency, and makes the wine unspittable. If we add the important aromatic expression, which mixes black fruits, violet, liquorice and fresh almond,...

Vintage 2009

Much like 1947, 1961 and 2005, 2009 is a year of almost overly (for Bordeaux) flamboyant and opulent wines with high maturity and low acidity.

Written Notes

Tasted in November 2021. Consistent notes. 39.5 hl/ha. Very ripe fruit tasting a bit warm and typical of the vintage (liquorice and a touch of plums). For my taste, it lacked some freshness. Maybe the grapes were harvested a few days too late

At once deep and rich, yet cool and delicate with a minty freshness, this is a really concentrated and super-elegant Pomerol that's now very seductive, but has the structure and vitality to live for a long time. Drink or hold.

  • 97p

At tasting, château La Conseillante 2009 reveals an expressive nose that combines the scents of black fruits, violets, licorice and fresh almonds. The wine is silky and offers perfectly integrated tannins in the mouth. It shows power, without dryness or astringency. A balanced wine with an extremely long finish. To be consumed before 2040.

Deep ruby. Blueberries, vanilla, floral, layered, scented and seductive. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, excellent texture and structure, fruit- driven but nuanced and the minerals play in the background. Very long.
