Château La Conseillante
Pomerol
Famille NICOLAS
The first recorded history of La Conseillante’s name appears in the mid-XVIII century. It was bequeathed by an influential woman who owned the estate almost three hundred years ago: Catherine Conseillan.
A STORY
In few words
The Nicolas family bought the château in 1871, and its size and configuration have remained the same ever since. Exemplifying the family’s continued commitment to this great wine, the fifth generation is currently at the helm.
La Conseillante, located in the heart of the famous Pomerol plateau next to its famous neighbours, Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, boasts an outstanding terroir. The wine expresses the full potential of the terroir, gaining a well-deserved reputation for its power and elegance.
La Conseillante’s silky tannin, aromatic complexity, and regularity year in, year out account for its loyal following around the world.
