Château La Conseillante 2016
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.
La Conseillante has, in fact, equipped itself with high-performance and modern facilities, including a new vat room that allows a "tailor-made" vinification of the 18 micro-plots spread over the 12 hectares of the property.
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.
In 2007, Château La Conseillante launched its second wine "Duo de Conseillante". Made from younger vines, "Duo" nevertheless expresses all the complexity and elegance of this great Pomerol terroir, with its notes of liquorice, violet and small red fruits.
