Chateau La Conseillante, Pomerol

Colour: Red
Vintage: 2005
Region: Bordeaux, Pomerol
% Alcohol: 13.50

We have long been fans of this superb estate on the Pomerol plateau; there is always a sense of drive and energy to the wine that, when allied to the pure fruit ripeness and silkiness of texture, lifts it above many of its peers and certainly to the level of the best in the appellation, including its immediate neighbours L'Evangile and VCC. With borders on these two great properties and one-third of the vineyard lying alongside the driveway of Cheval Blanc, La Conseillante produces a textbook Pomerol which Neal Martin beautifully describes as ‘honest’; it delivers a perfect expression of sumptuous Merlot in the gorgeously svelte but structured frame which characterises great Pomerol. There is no pomp and circumstance here – all the effort that goes into La Conseillante goes into the bottle and the results show particularly in less-celebrated vintages, where it usually ranks right near the top of the tree. In great years, it can leave one mesmerised.

Tasting Notes and Scores

98 JS

This really does have a wonderful texture that is reminiscent of great pinot noir while remaining obviously cabernet franc and merlot. It shows a seductive nose of cream, berries, chocolate and flowers. It's full-bodied, very intense and seamless in length. Pure class. Drink now and enjoy but will improve for years ahead.

James Suckling

This is decadent and wild on the nose, with fresh cèpe, raw steak and wild berry. Full-bodied, with loads of velvety tannins, yet refined and caressing in every way. A beautiful, balanced red. The best young wine ever from this producer. Highly Recommended

-Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide No 7

With the son of the Nicolas family, Valmy, taking over and ratcheting up the selection process as well as the quality, La Conseillante appears poised to challenge its closest neighbor, l’Evangile, as the finest estate on the border of the sector of Pomerol facing Cheval Blanc in St.-Emilion. The 2005 will challenge the extraordinary 2000. Among the truly fabulous wines made here (i.e., 2000, 1990, 1989, 1985, and 1982), its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by an exquisite bouquet of incense, raspberry jam, kirsch, licorice, and hints of black olives as well as flowers. This broadly perfumed Pomerol exhibits sensational purity, sweet tannin, medium to full body, and outstanding elegance and finesse. The fruit is forward and precocious, but there is enough stuffing, structure, and density for the wine to evolve for 20-25 years.

Wine Advocate

The 2005 La Conseillante is blessed with a truly fabulous, multi-faceted bouquet with layers of redcurrant and cranberry, rose petals, truffle oil, orange rind and hints of Dorset plum. The aromatics here are the most impressive...thus far. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin and a keen line of acidity, fresh and more saline in the mouth compared to the 2004, also with greater mineralité towards the finish. Now we are beginning to see the precision that the property is known for today and you have to stand back and admire the persistence, residues of spice lingering forty-five seconds after the wine has bid adieu. This is evolving with consummate grace and style. Tasted at La Conseillante vertical at the property.

Neal Martin

Tasted after the Clos L'Eglise, the 2005 La Conseillante simply has more of everything. More richness, body and texture, but at the same time, there is a striking element of underlying minerality that confers freshness. The Conseillante is one of the riper wines of the night, yet all the elements are very much in the right place. A host of dark, jammy flavors meld into the effortless, flamboyant finish, where a kick of sweetness from the French oak adds the closing nuances. What a gorgeous wine this is.

Antonio Galloni

94 MS

Dark, brick-edged red; fine, fragrant, ripe black cherry nose; beautifully balanced medium full wine, fresh, finely, firmly tannic; deep, sweet, vital flavour, long, graceful and tenacious, warm, generous, satisfying with great complexity and great fragrant length. A complete, long term Conseillante. Needs 5-8 years minimum. Really lovely, but does need time. 2025-40+
