La Conseillante 2014

La Conseillante

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

One of the most esteemed wines from Pomerol, Château La Conseillante has built a name for producing some of the regions most lavish and refined clarets. One of the oldest estates in the appellation, it is steeped in a rich history of winemaking that dates back to the mid-18th century. Uniquely positioned within Pomerol, the estate benefits from a mix of soils and sub soils with a terroir that consists of grey, blue and red clay, with iron gravel and sand deposits. Its 12 hectares of vineyard are planted with Merlot (c.80%) and Cabernet Franc (c.20%). In turn, their alchemic blend of fruit results in a soft-textured wine peppered with expressive notes of violets and truffles. Each vintage this wine is highly sought-after.

Jane Anson

Softening and opening up at 7 years old, although still in primary fruit territory. Supple gourmet texture, rich and supple with shots of butterscotch, blueberry and raspberry. Plenty of tannic pressure on the finish, great quality, plenty of Pomerol character. The finish combines salinity and sweetness, real push and pull. 75% new oak, 25% one year old barrels. Last vintage under Jean-Michel Laporte, just 400 bottles left at the estate. 38hl/h yield, harvest September 23 to October 6.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 La Conseillante is deep garnet in color. It rolls effortlessly out of the glass with ready-for-business scents of kirsch, redcurrant jelly, and dried roses, plus nuances of Indian spices, fallen leaves, and damp soil. Medium-bodied, it coats the palate with red and black fruit preserves, supported by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and perfumed.
