2011 Chateau La Conseillante Bordeaux France

Vintage : 2011

Country : France

Region : Pomerol, Bordeaux

Winemaker Notes

The wine has a purple hue, with the beginnings of a slightly orange rim as evidence of its evolution. A surprisingly pure and concentrated nose has aromas of ripe fruit, liquorice and toast. Although quite tannic, the palate is still very smooth, with notes of cherry and liquorice and an incomparable length. An exceptional vintage. Lay down for 8 to 30 years.

About Winery

The name of La Conseillante appears in the middle of the 18th century. It has been given by Mrs Catherine Conseillan, who ran the estate almost 300 years before today. In 1871, the Nicolas family buy the property, which surface and plots remain unchanged since this period.

Today, the estate is managed by the fifth generation, assuring continuity and the attachment of a family to a great wine. D. Bertrand Nicolas and Jean-Valmy Nicolas are the managers of La Conseillante, and Jean-Michel Laporte is the Director.

The wine label of Les Héritiers Nicolas shows a shield with a silver border enclosing the letter "N". The violet cap represents the characteristic flavor of the wine. These items, chosen by the Nicolas brothers in 1871, remain elegantly relevant at the beginning of the 21st Century.

93 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark The 2011 La Conseillante is impressive, and I suspect one of the gems in the vintage. Full-bodied, concentrated, and layered, with lots of spice, bouquet garni, graphite and assorted darker fruits, it has the classic elegance and polish of the estate and while still young, is drinking beautifully today. Enjoy bottles over the coming two decades. Inner quote mark (11/2017)

93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark This has evolved beautifully. The nose shows black truffles, berries and chocolate character. This is full-bodied, with very firm but polished tannins and a long, focused finish. Needs three to four years to soften, but a pretty, balanced wine for the vintage. Inner quote mark (2/2014)
