99 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"The aromas of violets and dark berries with licorice and sweet black tea are so attractive. What really impresses is the sweet fruit in the dense middle palate. So attractive. At the same time, thereâs plenty of plush and ripe tannins that give the wine form and brightness. And it still remains bright on the finish, as the tannins roll on. A great Conseillante. Try after 2024."

99 Pts Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com	"Bottled in June of 2018, the 2016 ChÃ¢teau La Conseillante is a beautifully seamless yet powerful version of this cuvÃ©e that has the hallmark fragrance and elegance of the estate front and center. Complex blackberries, cassis, flowers, incense, forest floor, and floral notes all soar from this full-bodied, pure, and polished Pomerol that has an undeniable class as well as wonderful purity of fruit, perfect integration of its tannins and acidity, and a blockbuster finish. It's an incredibly complete wine that flirts with perfection and will keep for 30-40 years. The blend is 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, aged in 70% new French oak, with the balance in once-used barrels. There are less than 4,000 cases made, but this is a wine you want in your cellar."

98+ Pts Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	The 2016 La Conseillante is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc aged in 70% new and 30% one-year-old French oak for 17 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips provocatively out of the glass with a lifted perfume of roses, candied violets and lavender over a core of warm red and black plums, chocolate box, unsmoked cigars and baked cherries with wafts of wild thyme and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate exudes polish and sophistication with bags of fragrance, freshness and energy, sporting exquisitely fine-grained tannins and finishing very long and minerally. Around 3,808 cases produced.

98 Pts Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent	Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 La Conseillante is deep garnet-purple colored. It needs just a little swirling to unlock notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and ripe, juicy plums, plus suggestions of clove oil, rosehip tea, and tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the taut, muscular fruit, finishing with great energy and poise.
97 Pts Decanter	love the depth and character to the fruits on this wine. Still extremely young, in a closed phase with plenty of tannic grip, but there are layers upon layers of blueberry, cassis, raspberry, mint, saffron, slate and liquorice. Clear acidity also, ensuring this succulent, juicy character to the fruits. A brilliant example of an excellent vintage in Pomerol. 70% new oak. A yield of 39.5hl/ha.

Description:

In 1871, the Nicolas family acquired La Conseillante, whose surface area (12 hectares/30 acres) & vineyard plots have remained the same since that time, which is a unique achievement. In 1960, Louis Nicolasâ heirs formed the SociÃ©tÃ© Civile des HÃ©ritiers Nicolas company. As from 2001, La Conseillante developed the internal structure of the company, recruiting an estate manager, then in 2003 setting up a Family Board of Directors. Since 1st February 2010, the La Conseillante Family Board has been made up of three members, Doctor Bertrand Nicolas, joint-managing director since 2001, Jean-Valmy Nicolas, joint-managing director since 2010, & Henri Nicolas. Today, the fifth generation of the Nicolas family manages the estate, symbolizing the continuing commitment and attachment of the family to this great growth. The Family Board's role is to supervise the activities of the estate manager & to take part in strategic decisions, such as primeurs price releases, allocations to the Bordeaux market, investments, dividends & promotional activities. The Nicolas heirs are clearly identified on each bottle by the initials âLNâ on the label at the centre of a shield within a silver-edged border whose four corners are sloped. The violet-coloured bottle capsule evokes the characteristic aroma of the wine. These packaging features, first chosen back in 1871 by the Nicolas brothers, remain elegant & yet modern even today. For the 145 years that it has existed, ChÃ¢teau La Conseillante has thus benefited from long-lasting, unwavering support from the Nicolas family, which has helped it to express the best of its terroir, which is one of the greatest in Pomerol. One special feature of La Conseillante is that no member of the family lives with income from the property.
