Chateau La Conseillante 2021

One of Pomerol's most iconic estates, Château La Conseillante is celebrated for its elegance, purity, and longevity. It reveals captivating aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, truffle, graphite, dark chocolate, and exotic spice. Richly concentrated yet impeccably refined, it delivers velvety tannins, remarkable freshness, extraordinary precision, and an exceptionally long, seamless finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, Wagyu steak, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, black truffle dishes, wild mushrooms, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

96 Points - James Suckling 

Blackberry, lavender, dried violet, and sandalwood follow through to a medium body, with very fine and velvety tannins that give a polished and caressing texture. Fresh and vivid. Drink after 2028.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 La Conseillante unwinds in the glass with aromas of black raspberries and mulberries mingled with vine smoke, rose petals and spices, framed by a discreet touch of new oak. This is medium to full-bodied, suave and enveloping, with a velvety attack that segues into a layered, multidimensional palate that's framed by ultra-refined tannins and animated by ripe acids. Long and perfumed, this has turned out beautifully. It was bottled in June, seeing three rackings and a very light egg-white fining during élevage.
