Château
La Conseillante

Pomerol
The Nicolas family
The first recorded history of La Conseillante’s name appears in the mid-18th century. It was bequeathed by an influential woman who owned the estate almost 300 years ago: Catherine Conseillan.

The Nicolas family bought the château in 1871, and its size and configuration have not changed ever since. Exemplifying the Nicolas family’s continued commitment to this great wine, the fifth generation is currently at the helm.

Located on the heart of the famous Pomerol plateau next to its renowned neighbours, Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, La Conseillante has an outstanding terroir. Its full potential has been achieved, and the wine has gained a well-deserved reputation for power and elegance.

La Conseillante’s silky tannin, aromatic complexity, and regularity year in and year out account for its loyal following around the world.
