Château La Conseillante (Pomerol)
Dark ruby in color, with just a swirl, you find lilacs, violets, chocolate, black cherries, black raspberries, and a hint of truffle that create the intoxicating aromatic profile. Polished, sensuous, and refined, the fruits are vibrant and, more importantly, they possess depth, length, and purity. Medium-bodied, yet not light, the silky finish lingers with grace and refinement. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. 8% press wine. 13.5% ABV, 3.68 pH. The harvest took place from September 20 to October 4. Drink from 2029-2047. 95-97 Pts 1,112 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2025 |
When to Drink Chateau La Conseillante, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau La Conseillante is much better with at least 8-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau La Conseillante offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-35 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau La Conseillante with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau La Conseillante is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau La Conseillante is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta.
