In Portrait:

Château La Conseillante

Château La Conseillante is one of Pomerol’s legendary estates and lies ideally between Pétrus and Cheval Blanc. Its terroir combines deep clay, fine gravel and characteristic iron oxides that give the wine structure, depth and subtle spice. Merlot dominates, complemented by Cabernet Franc, which brings elegance, freshness and floral tension.

La Conseillante is known for its fragrant, silky style: iris and violet notes, refined red and dark fruit, fine tannins and impressive harmony. Modern precision in the cellar meets long family tradition. The result is noble, balanced wine with great ageing potential – one of Pomerol’s finest and most characterful voices.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
