Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau La Conseillante 2018

99–100
/100

Lobenberg: Vinstokkene på La Conseillante er i gennemsnit 40 år gamle og vokser på 12 hektar dyb, gruset jord blandet med ler og jern. 2018-vinen er en cuvée af 83% Merlot og 17% Cabernet Franc. Der var ca. 10% tab på grund af meldug, ellers var alt i det grønne, bare koncentreret med små bær. Meget intens næse af sorte kirsebær, lidt mango, slåen, eukalyptus og mynte, spændende næse. Ekstremt aromatisk i munden, der er en utrolig kraft, men ikke nødvendigvis fed, bare presserende masser af frugt, en vanvittig koncentration af smørbløde tanniner, intet er hårdt, intet er bittert, intet er overekstraheret. Alt er sammenhængende i sig selv, uendeligt langt i salt mineralitet. Men kraften i frugten er virkelig forbløffende, jeg har næppe smagt en vin i år i Pomerol, der presser så hårdt. Lidt ligesom Eglise Clinet eller Clos de la Vieille Eglise, som også var meget rige. Men her er der rød frugt, koncentreret slåen, vilde hindbær, kirsebær i alle afskygninger, violer, mørk lakrids, men ikke sødt, snarere salt. Intet overmodent eller endda flygtigt, vi har en fantastisk friskhed og et trykkende tryk her. Jeg er sikker på, at denne vin har et meget langt liv foran sig, og det er en af de største Conseillante, der nogensinde er lavet. For mig er det en kæmpe vin. 99-100/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau La Conseillante

Sexy, fresh, rich, opulent and refined, this is Pomerol at its most seductive. The fruits are drenched in chocolate and you'll quickly find truffle, smoke, licorice, flowers and dark, black cherries. With velvety tannins, concentration and depth of flavor, this wine delivers a long attention grabbing finish. And this is a good thing as this is a wine you don't want to lose sight of. Made from blending 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc and reaching 14% alcohol, the harvest took place September 19 to October 4. Yields were lower than usual at 32 hectoliters per hectare. You need to know that on my initial taste I loved the wine and thought it was the equal of the brilliant 2016 but I went back three times and each subsequent tasting was better than the last. This could top the 2016! 98-100 Pts

Parker om: Chateau La Conseillante

The 2018 La Conseillante is composed of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc, with a 3.65 pH and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a lot of swirling and coaxing to lure out the youthfully shy, incredible perfume of black raspberries, boysenberries, ripe plums and cinnamon toast, leading to notions of lilacs, clove oil and forest floor, plus a waft of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is a jaw-dropping exercise in finesse, slowly unfurling in the mouth to reveal layer upon layer of bright, crunchy red and black fruits, supported by a rock-solid frame of firm, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and with an impressive mineral and exotic spice firework display. It's an incredible expression of Pomerol that cannot fail to inspire a resounding "WOW" from whoever is fortunate to drink it. Tempting to broach now (albeit with a lot of air), try to keep your hands off it for a good 5 years and then drink it over the next 30 years or more. 98/100

Galloni om: Chateau La Conseillante

The 2018 La Conseillante is a regal and utterly exquisite Pomerol from the very first taste. Technical Director Marielle Cazaux and her team turned out a jewel of a wine. Silky tannins and lifted, precise aromatics make a strong first impression. Inky dark fruit, pain grillé, lavender, spice, menthol and a kiss of new French oak all flesh out over time. More than anything else, what comes through is the new emphasis at La Conseillante on freshness and verve. The 2018 is a Pomerol of tremendous precision. It is, in a word: dynamite! 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau La Conseillante

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2018 Château La Conseillante checks in as a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc brought up in 70% new French oak, with a small amount in amphora. Yields here were a light 32 hectoliters per hectare, and the 2018 is a respectable 13.5% natural alcohol. Winemaker Marielle Cazaux commented that the secret to the vintage was to be a lazy winemaker (i.e. hands off). Her 2018 boasts a saturated purple color as well as incredible purity in its blue and black fruits, spice, liquid flower, and violet-like characteristics. Full-bodied, pure and seamless on the palate as well, it’s flawlessly balanced, with building yet sweet tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It's going to flirt with perfection. Hats off to Marielle for another magical wine from this estate, which has quickly risen into the top echelon of estates in Bordeaux. 97-100/100
