Château La Conseillante 2020
Currently, it is the fifth generation of Nicolas who manages the château, thus marking the continuity and the 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.
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 violets, licorice, truffles and small red fruits. This wine is distinguished by its harmony, its finesse and its complexity.
The vineyard, which benefits from a unique terroir, predominantly clay, is planted for 80% Merlot which brings roundness, fullness and smoothness. The remaining 20%, planted on Graves, are Cabernet-Franc which brings structure and freshness to the blend.
The vineyards are carefully managed, yields are controlled, optimal maturity is sought, and the grapes are carefully sorted and replanted. The wine-making process is based on a unique parcel of land. Black fruit and blackcurrant aromas are combined with notes of peony. The blending of the Conseillante lots gives this wine a beautiful balance.
