The finest qualities of La Conseillante are its elegance and its finesse…, nothing should be done to stop these qualities expressing themselves to the full.”

History
Referred to simply as La Conseillante, this acclaimed Pomerol estate’s roots date back to the mid-18th century, though has been in the hands of the Nicolas family since 1871.
Terroir & Winemaking
The property comprises 12 hectares, of which 80% are planted to Merlot. Approximately 4,000 cases of La Conseillante’s Grand Vin are produced annually. Today under the lead of Marielle Cazaux, each new vintage is another success at this benchmark address, producing elegant, seamless wines with exemplary finesse. The estate neighbors a handful of other esteemed châteaux, including Vieux Château Certan, L’Evangile, and Cheval Blanc.
