The name Conseillante appears from the middle of the eighteenth century. It was bequeathed by a influential person who ran the property 300 years ago soon: Catherine Conseillan. The Conseillante of Saint-Emilion, Pomerol on the board with a clay and gravel with iron in the dirt basement, wine comes from vines which certainly enhances Merlot (70%) but the Cabernet Franc, with 25%, gives the wines a freshness, complexity and richness special. The purple cap with his Conseillante recalls for its characteristic aroma of the raw. These elements selected in 1871 by brothers Nicolas remain an elegant modernity at the dawn of the XXI Century.

Drinking extremely well (far better than I ever believed it would), the 1975 La Conseillante surprised me with its sweet, jammy, kirschblack-cherryflowery nose with vague scents of truffles. Medium-bodied, sweet, and round, with hard tannin in the finish, this wine, which has often tasted disjointed and lacking depth, came through strongly in a January, 1996 tasting. Fully mature, it is capable of lasting another 5-10 years. The color reveals considerable rust and orange, suggesting more advanced maturity than the aromatics and flavors display. Perhaps there is some bottle variation, but this was a stronger, more intense example of La Conseillante than I had previously tasted.
