Description

The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and liquorice. A broad, savoury, seductive, full-bodied mouthfeel with superb ripeness, silky tannins, and terrific complexity make this an ethereal style of Pomerol. A must taste. Drink it over the next 15+ years. La Conseillante has been doing everything very well since the turn of this century, and this is another example of just how strong these wines are. For older readers, the great vintages of the past (1982, 1985, 1989, and 1990) are a quintessentially seductive style of Pomerol that seems to represent a hybrid blend of a grand cru red Burgundy and a top terroir from Bordeaux. Drink 2009-2024. 93/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (181), February 2009

Gilbert & Gaillard has been one of France's key wine guides for more than two decades. There have been more than 50 editions published over this time, the most recent editions in French, English, Chinese and Japanese.

95/100 Jean-Marc Quarin

Attractive berry and mineral character. Full-bodied, with a pretty complement of dark chocolate and berry character. Solid core of fruit and ripe tannins, yet balanced. Very ripe fruit here. Serious for the vintage. 92-94/100 James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, March 2007

Fabulously situated alongside Cheval Blanc and L'Evangile, this property consistently produces soft and creamy traditional Pomerol that never tries to be heavy or extracted. The winemaking here has seriously improved in recent years, and 2006 is a perfect example of the heights that la Conseillante has scaled. This offers a sexy, seductive nose, full of charm, yet remains fresh, fragrant and understated. Pure blackcurrent and perfumed tobacco in character. The palate is beautifully refined, with great balance between the fine tannins and lifting freshness. A hint of surmaturité to the dark, spicy fruit, but with no suggestion of being overdone. Very classy indeed. One of The Wines of the Vintage. 17.5/20 Farr Vintners, March 2007

Smoky, tannic, black raspberries and cherries are in abundance. The wine is tannic, structured and powerful, with a masculine side to its character. Give this time in the hopes that it softens with age. Knowing the wines well, it should soften with additional age.
