Château La Conseillante 2018

Currently, the fifth generation of Nicolas manages the château, marking the continuity and attachment of a family to a great wine. Bertrand Nicolas and Jean-Valmy Nicolas are co-managers of La Conseillante. Marielle Cazaux is the Director.

The Nicolas Heirs are identified by the label with cut-off sides and silver border, surrounding the "L.N." coat of arms. The purple capsule reminds us of the characteristic perfume of the vintage. These elements, chosen as early as 1871 by the Nicolas brothers, remain elegantly modern at the dawn of the 21st Century.

La Conseillante has an inimitable style. In each vintage, the wine is characterized by a deep and brilliant ruby color. The nose develops a complex aromatic palette, combining violet, liquorice, truffle and small red fruits. This wine is distinguished by its harmony, finesse and complexity.

The vineyard, which benefits from a unique terroir, predominantly clay, is planted with 80% Merlot, which brings roundness, fullness and smoothness. The remaining 20%, planted on Graves, is planted with Cabernet Franc which brings structure and freshness to the blend.

Sustainable viticulture, yield control, search for optimal maturity, strict sorting, replanting, all these care taken in the vineyard benefit from an unparalleled tool of parcel-based vinification.

The 2018 is incredibly aromatic with blue and black fruits: blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry, enhanced by a touch of floral and spice. The attack is very fleshy and the mid-palate is dense, prolonged by a tension and energy that lengthens the finish of this wine. This is a vintage of pulpy flesh, with powdery tannins reminiscent of cocoa powder.
