Critics’ Reviews:

• Neal Martin (Vinous, March 2017): “The 2014 La Conseillante has a well-defined bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, minerals, touches of seaweed and light incense aromas that develop fine intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. This Pomerol is very well poised with perfectly judged acidity… Whilst not a match for Titans like the 1989 or 2010, this La Conseillante possesses nuance and sophistication… it would not surprise me if it gives 25 years of drinking pleasure.” (Score: 92/100)
• Colin Hay (The Drinks Business, 2022): “Floral and almost a little Margellais in personality with white spring flowers alongside the more classically Pomerol black cherry stone fruit. Fresh, soft, and seductive, with lovely minerality… lithe and tender, a little austere, but lovely nonetheless.”
• Berry Bros. & Rudd: “Sweet, rich and showing a depth of fruit and layered complexity… Perfectly balanced tannins complement the acidity to create a sumptuous mouth-feel… almost Burgundy-like.”
