Château La Conseillante, a Pomerol estate, was founded in 1871 by the Nicolas family. Today the 30-acre estate is still owned and managed by the Nicolas family. Like other wines in the Pomerol appellation, La Conseillante is unclassified. La Conseillante however is considered one of the region’s best wines, and Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that the estate “produces some of this appellation’s most elegant, lush, and delicious wines…La Conseillante is a meticulously made wine.” The blend is typically 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. About 6,000 cases are produced annually. There is no second wine.
