"Pomerol is one of the most successful communes in the 1994 vintage, and La Conseillante is clearly one of the stars in the village this year. The wine is just starting to blossom nicely at age seventeen, as it offers up a classy middle-aged nose of raspberries and black cherries, tobacco smoke, lovely soil tones, fresh herbs, a touch of coffee and a nice base of nutty oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and beautifully balanced, with a very suave attack, good mid-palate depth, moderate tannins and very good length and grip on the elegant finish. While this is drinking very well already, I would be inclined to give it another six or seven years of bottle age to really allow the tannins to completely fall away and the velvety palate texture to take center stage. There is certainly nothing “off vintage” about the 1994 La Conseillante."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
A tiny, prestigious Right Bank appellation famed for opulent, velvety Merlot-based wines. Iron-rich clay soils yield some of the world's most coveted and concentrated reds.
Chateau La Conseillante is a top Pomerol estate in Bordeaux, sited on the plateau between Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, prized for fragrant, silky and elegant Merlot-dominated wines.
