"The 1966 vintage has produced and utterly classic example of La Conseillante, with the combination of haunting perfume, seamless and complex flavors and great intensity of flavor without any undue weight that makes La Conseillante such a unique and profound property. The bouquet is a beautiful blend of black raspberries, allspice, cigar wrappers, a touch of nutskin, gentle herb tones, coffee and minerality. On the palate the wine is medium-full, round, suave and complex, with great focus and tang, fine mid-palate intensity, melted tannins, bright acids and a beautiful, velvety and ethereal finish. Tout en finesse."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
A tiny, prestigious Right Bank appellation famed for opulent, velvety Merlot-based wines. Iron-rich clay soils yield some of the world's most coveted and concentrated reds.
Chateau La Conseillante is a top Pomerol estate in Bordeaux, sited on the plateau between Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, prized for fragrant, silky and elegant Merlot-dominated wines.
