The 2016 La Conseillante is a benchmark wine for the estate, perhaps the first where winemaker Marielle Cazaux really made her mark. It has a divine bouquet that halts you in your tracks with its purity. Almost Burgundian in style, black fruit intermixes with blue, just a background scent of incense - less vanillary than before. The palate is marked by svelte tannins, cashmere in texture with just a trace of white pepper. The finish has a welcome sense of edginess with hints of graphite on the aftertaste. It's just the opening chapter in what will be an awesome Pomerol. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)

Elegant persistent, gorgeous tannins. I tasted the grapes, now the young wine, and will probably buy some too

18+/20 (94+/100) Молодой и насыщенный аромат в котором преобладают тона спелых черешни и сливы, дополненные нотами сладких специй, ментола, ванили и шоколада. Высокая кислотность и достаточно интенсивные, но мягкие и шелковистые по текстуре танины. Концентрированно ягодное во вкусе. Продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепно! (05.10.2017)
