Chateau La Conseillante 2025

87 procent Merlot, ti procent Cabernet Franc og tre procent Cabernet Sauvignon. Alkoholindholdet er 13,5 volumenprocent, og pH-værdien er 3,66. Et forbløffende udbytte på 30 hektoliter pr. hektar. Cabernet-druerne blev høstet fra 28. august til midten af september. Arbejdet her er fuldstændig økologisk, men det er ikke certificeret. En af grundene til dette er, at Conseillante har ekstremt sunde vinstokke, som derfor ikke led så meget under varmen og tørken. Naboen Cheval Blanc havde kun et udbytte på 15 hektoliter pr. hektar. Conseillante har nu haft en enestående position i mange, mange år og er sammen med VCC og L'Eglise Clinet sandsynligvis det mest konsekvente verdensklasseslot i Pomerol. Denne mørke frugt, den enorme koncentration og samtidig denne spænding gør 2025 til et absolut drømmeår. Ifølge vinmageren har Conseillante ikke haft en så storslået balance siden 2005. Næsen er fascinerende, fordi den har en masse sort, blød og poleret sort kirsebær samt gul frugt. Moden mango, mandarin og passionsfrugt. Meget spændende, chik og elegant! Ikke fed, men intens, energisk og frem for alt utrolig harmonisk. Wow, sikke en friskhed i munden! Røde kirsebær, moreller og surkirsebær samt ribs. En vanvittig stor rødfrugtet friskhed og en smuk, velsmagende længde. Grandios balance! Masser af tannin, men det er så ultrafint! Dette er en dansende skønhed, et vibrerende, energisk vidunder! En vin, som vi måske kun har oplevet på højre bred med Beauséjour-Duffau. En sådan utrolig skønhed - en ode til glæden! Og for mig, sammen med VCC i Pomerol, årets vin. *** La Conseillante har ti hektar på dyb jord blandet med ler og jern. Vinstokkene er i gennemsnit godt 40 år gamle. La Conseillante ligger lige foran Château L'Évangile. Pétrus og andre følger i forlængelse heraf. Med andre ord det bedste terroir i centrum af Pomerol. Vieux Château Certan ligger et stenkast væk på den anden side. Dette er hjertet af appellationen. Efter fuldstændig afstilkning og spontan gæring i beton modnes vinene i klassiske barriques. 70 procent nyt træ, men nu også tre procent amforaer for at give fylde. Resten i brugte barriques.

Parker om: Chateau La Conseillante

The 2025 La Conseillante is another brilliant wine in the making for this Pomerol reference point. Wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe mulberries and blackberries mingled with hints of violets and truffle, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and unctuous, with lively acids, ultra-refined tannins and a long, floral finish. It's a blend of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon (from new plantings that already make it into the blend) that attained 13.5% alcohol. Fermentations were capped at 26 degrees Celsius, the coolest ever, to extract selectively, and the entire production is maturing in barriques this year.

Alexandre Ma om: Chateau La Conseillante

Tasting Château La Conseillante 2025 inevitably brings to mind the 2022 vintage. Both shaped by extreme heat and dryness, yet each shows an unexpected vibrancy. Thanks to two timely rainfalls, 26 mm on August 20 and 22 mm on August 29, 2025 appears more juicy and agile than 2022, with acidity that cuts through more precisely. Bayberry and black cherry burst one after another on the palate, releasing abundant juice. Notes of licorice, Sichuan pepper, and star anise are interwoven throughout, adding layers of complexity. Then comes the violet, like a lace skirt catching the light, rising and drifting with effortless grace. Even as it expresses such grace and finesse, Château La Conseillante retains a firm structural core beneath the surface, a clear reflection of its gravelly-clay plateau terroir and the defining backbone of top Bordeaux. This is exactly the Pomerol I had hoped to find in 2025. The moment you meet it, you find yourself completely under its spell.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau La Conseillante

Violets, lilacs, and chocolate drizzles, followed by plums, black cherries, blue fruits, licorice, smoke, and truffles, create the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is pure silk, velvet, and cashmere, perfectly suited to the seemingly endless waves of sweet, bright, plush fruits, with their freshness, elegance, and stunning sense of purity. The finish lingers past the 60-second mark and keeps going long after the wine has gone where it needs to be. One of the keys to the success of the dry 2025 vintage began a few years in advance, with the addition of compost to the vineyards, aiding water retention, helping the fruit gain maturity, and increasing yields. The wine blends 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon along with 8% press wine. 13.5% ABV, 3.66 pH. The harvest took place from August 28 to September 17. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030 to 2065.

Colin Hay om: Chateau La Conseillante

(Pomerol; 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; pH 3.66; 13.5% ABV; tasted with Marielle Cazeaux at La Conseillante). Immediately we are the realm of greatness. We have archetypal La Conseillante florality. This is very beautiful – with peony and violet, a little lily of the valley and a little rose petal. The floral notes really wrap themselves around the blueberries drawing out the glorious cedary notes. Haunting in its beauty. Calming. Intimate. I love the parfumier's essences of violets and rose petals reinforcing those first floral notes as the wine starts to inhale and relax in the glass. The is the first year of the integration of the Cabernet Sauvignon into the final blend and it reinforces the impression of the deep, dark core. Succulent, sumptuous, so gracious and very layered – somewhere between silk and cashmere. This has a lovely, ample frame and is the most bourguignon of the grand plateau Pomerols. Complete, brilliantly poised, and so juicy and fresh. A wine of an incredible harmony. I've not tasted a better La Conseillante and I honestly didn't expect to be writing that in this vintage.
