Description

Pomerol just would not be Pomerol without La Conseillante at its heart. With its unique geographical situation on the Catusseau plateau, the vineyard of La Conseillante covers different nuances of soil-type, making up a patchwork of terroirs that is its special hallmark. It has been 300 years now since Catherine Conseillan purchased the estate. In addition to her name, her legacy lives on in a certain way of thinking at the estate. Louis Nicolas bought the property in 1871 when it totalled 12 hectares (30 acres) of vines, shrewdly planted on soils made up of a diversity of clays. Five generations and 147 vintages later, the mosaic of vine plots is still the same. Successive owners each inherited the same vision and precious savoir-faire. The family attachment to this place is profound, while the Nicolas family’s heart-felt wish is to forever ensure La Conseillante’s unique style.
